Description

A special feature of Ahmedabad is the plan of the old city, comprising numerous pols, self-contained neighbourhoods, sheltering large numbers of people. Some of these pols are virtually small villages, traversed by narrow streets, usually terminating in squares with community wells and chabutaras for feeding birds. These pols were protected by gates, cul-de-sacs and secret passages. To experience the glory of Ahmedabad it is necessary to walk through an old quarter and truly observe the nature of its architecture, its art, religious places, its culture and traditions. With the purpose of unveiling the city to the tourists and the citizens themselves, Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, with guidance from the CRUTA Foundation has planned this HERITAGE WALK OF AHMEDABAD
