Gujarat
is a vibrant land with a historical and cultural tradition dating back to
the days of the Harrapan civilization. Prosperous and throbbing with life,
this state offers colors of a million hues to the visitor.
Since the
beginning of civilization, Gujarat has been witness to revolutionary
changes that have left their mark on the face of time. This land of Lord
Krishna and the great Mahatma Gandhi has been home to a multitude of
cultures. Rich in crafts, arts and music, it has a culture that is vibrant
and full of life.
Due
to its close proximity to the
sea, Gujarat has developed into a thriving economic state. Standing at the
threshold of the 21st century, it has made giant leaps towards
modernization. Predominantly a business class, the state is exploring
newer areas like technology, infrastructure development and trade.
The arts and crafts too flourished due to the progress of trade and
commerce in the past eight hundred years. Businesspersons largely
patronized these crafts, helping them brave the vagaries of time. Even
today, the traditional dress of Gujarat- the ghaghra-choli, and the famous
tie and dye work is immensely popular throughout India. The folk dances of
Guajrat, including the garba and dandia are so vibrant and graceful that
it is no doubt captivating.
Gujarat is also
a unique state with diverse habitats. Its varied land forms include the
famous dry deciduous forests like the Gir (the only
habitat of the Asiatic lion), majestic grass lands like those found at
Velavadar and vast landscapes harboring rare animals in habitats like
Rann of Kutch. Wetland habitats like Nalsarovar,
marine ecosystems, are found near the Pirotan Islands and the rich moist
deciduous forests of the Dangs are irresistible.

Other tourist
attractions include, the sacred temples of Dwarka and Somnath;
Palitana, the picturesque Mountain city of Jain temples
at about 2,000 feet height on the Shetrunjaya hills; Udwada,
the oldest place of the fire temple of the Parses in India; the 5,000
years old archaeological finds in Lothal and the 11th
century Sun temple at Modhera among the architectural
wonders. The national shrine of Sabarmati Ashram at
Ahmedabad is the nation's pride.
