Hi there!
Here I’m sharing with you RECAP of The Great Indian Heritage walk - Ahmedabad meetup which was posted by me.
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.
