Gujarat

INCREDIBLE GUJARAT

Gujarat is the third largest state economy in India and is the most industrialized one. Home to globally well-renowned entrepreneurs and leaders, Gujarat is more than just business. Home to the Father of the Nation, Gujarat was a part of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization. Regions like Lothal & Dholavira are dotted with artifacts that are remnants of rich history. The region of Kutch is a barren clay marsh that turns white due to its high salt content and is an ethereal location to stop by. The Rann of Kachch is the venue for a four-month-long carnival held in premises of Gujarat known as the Rann Utsav. People gather for merrymaking and indulge in competitions & culinary extravaganza.

Other notable festivals include the International Kite Festival held in the capital city of Ahmedabad, where hundreds gather in open spaces and terraces to fly exotically colorful kites, trying to compete with each other and bring down each other's kites. Gujarat is home to the Asiatic Lion, who is exclusive to the state and isn’t found anywhere else in the world. Other notable festivals include the grand Navaratri & light-filled Dipawali, where thousands of tiny mud lamps illuminate every household.
