Hi I am Ankita Vasavada. I am a designer and live in a busy city of India- Ahmedabad which recently completed its 600 th year on 26th Feb WOW!!.

To show my gratitude towards the place where I live I would like to share a small piece of historical information of the city

In 1411 Sultan Ahmed Shah conquered Karnavati, and after his name Karnavati was renamed to Ahmedabad.

The city was built in open and spacious plane to the East of Sabarmati- (Sabarmati- river flows in the middle of Ahmedabad). It compromised of smaller Fort Known as Bhadra Fort. The city fort wall was enclosed containing 12 Gates. The city of Ahmedabad went on expanding in every direction by the addition of new areas on both the sides of the river. And with the well laid out beautiful buildings, lakes and mosques.

In 1753 combined armies of Raghunath Rao and Damaji Gaekwad took the fort, which resulted into end of Mughal Rule in Ahmedabad. In 64 years during the rule of Gaekwad and Peshwa, city became worse . In 1818 British took over the administration of Ahmedbad. During this period Ahmedabad developed, Municipality Commitee was founded, Railway link was established.

In 1915 Mahatma Gandhi came from South Africa and established Ashram on the banks of Sabarmati.

The main attraction of Ahmadabad is its culture and the lifestyle.
