Описание: Imagine a city that has witnessed over 600 years of history, where the old and the new merge in a symphony of culture, architecture, and progress. This is Ahmedabad, a city founded in 1411 by Ahmad Shah Badshah. Fast forward to today, and it’s a thriving hub of development, culture, and innovation—a city with a unique mindset that sets it apart from any other metropolitan area in India.
