This meetup was a part of The Great Indian Heritage Walk India organised by a Delhi Local Guide @AmbrishVarshney .
It was a beautiful morning when I started my journey from my home to Ahmedabad. After reaching the meetup point, I waited for other meetup participants but no LG joined me.
After almost half an hour, I received a call from @Rajanshah who told me that he would come along with two of his guests, therefore I waited for him. Once Mr. Rajan reached the Meetup starting point along with two of his friends, we started our heritage walk after a short introduction.
Ahmedabad is 600 years old ancient city. It has some finest Indian Islamic architecture monuments as well as beautiful temples of Hindus and Jains.
The walk commences from the early 19th century Swaminarayan Temple Kalupur, encompasses 20 main spots besides numerous areas and aspects of the old city. We explored almost all the heritage sites in between our path.
As we started our Meetup from a Hindu temple and concluded in front of a Muslim mosque, hence it would be appropriate to address our Meetup as “The journey from Mandir to Masjid”.
The following Heritage sites were covered by us during this meetup.
Swaminarayan Temple
Poet Dalpatram Memorial Chowk
Kala Ramji Temple
Shantinath Pole
Jain Temples
Doshiwada ni Pole
Harkuvar Shethanini Haveli
Rani no Hajiro
Ahmed Shah Badsah’s Tomb and last point was
Jama masjid
It was truly an amazing experience while exploring these Heritage sites. We learnt many unknown facts about these places. We hope that our contribution by adding reviews, photos etc will help a lot of local and foreign tourists who come to Ahmedabad for visiting these places.
Thank you @NareshDarji bhai for taking part in India’s First The Great India Heritage Walk and also sharing these stunning images. Keep this Great Work
