Ahmedabad is Gujarat's prime metropolis, a city founded by Sultan Shah of Gujarat, who also turned it his capital.
Ahmedabad became one of the finest and richest cities of western India, which a few centuries ago prompted explorers to describe it as “a goodly city as large as London”.
It has a strategic location in being accessible from the sea. Its rich and flourishing textile industry looms famous for spinning out hundreds of yards of exquisite cotton, silk and gold thread made it an important trading center of the Middle Ages.
