In 1960, when old Bombay State was bifurcated into the present States of Maharashtra and Gujarat, Bombay city fell to the share of Mahrashtra. It was then decided to build an entirely new capital for Gujarat. Gandhinagar, Gujarat's
new capital city, rises on the west bank of the Sabarmati river, about
32kms, north-east of Ahmedabad, the commercial and cultural heart of
Gujarat. Gandhinagar presents the spacious, well-organised look of an
architecturally integrated city. |
