Top 4 experiences in Ahmedabad you shouldn't miss!
When you plan on an outing or a vacation, Ahmedabad might not be among the places that instantly strikes your mind. But that’s where you’re making a mistake. Let me show you everything you’re missing out on by not visiting the largest city of Gujarat.
Sabarmati Ashram:
The Sabarmati Ashram, located at the banks of River Sabarmati, is one of the 1st few places Gandhiji stayed amidst the freedom struggle. He used the ashram as a place to experiment with the natural lifestyle, which he later coined as swadeshi. Here, he indulged in several activities like farming, cattle-rearing, animal husbandry, khadi and more. This is a must-visit site of heritage where you can take a walk down the history lane and witness ancient India. There is a museum tributed to Gandhiji as part of the ashram which is a splendid place to inculcate knowledge about the colonial period, the lifestyle then, and contributions of the father of our nation.
Shaking Minarets:
The ‘Jhulta Minara Sidi Bashir mosque’ also known as the ‘Shaking Minarets’ is a 3-story ancient architecture with majestic constructions and admirable carvings. It is said that the minarets were originally constructed as a protection mechanism for the mosque. Apparently, after the war between the Marathas and the Khan of Gujarat Sultanate in 1753, a huge part of the mosque was destroyed leaving only the arched Central Gateway and two Minarets. But the attention received by this site is not attributed to its prehistoric traits but because of the Minarets itself. When either of the minarets receives a gentle shake the other minaret shakes automatically for a few seconds. The reason behind this observation still remains a mystery to all, which makes it even more fascinating to witness.
