Ahmedabad which was also known as Ashaval and Karnawati is one of the old cities of India, it was founded in 1411. It has some of the finest and oldest Islamic monuments and exquisite Hindu and Jain temples. Its carved wooden houses are another unique architectural tradition. A special feature of Ahmedabad is the plan of the old city, comprising numerous pols, self-contained neighborhoods, sheltering large numbers of people.
Some of these pols are virtually small villages, traversed by narrow streets, usually terminating in squares withe community wells and chabutras 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.
