Introduction
Long beaches, mighty Gir
lions, intricately carved temples, colourful fairs and festivals and
the most exquisite and artistic handicrafts characterise Gujarat.
The state of Gujarat is
rightly called the 'Jewel of the West'. It has several tourist
attractions like the Gir Lion Sanctuary, The Jain Temples cluster at
Palitana and many more. The state is also home to Mahatama Gandhi's
legacy from Porbandar to Rajkot and Ahmedabad's Sabarmati Ashram to
the salt beaches of Dandi. Traditional festivals are a major
attraction and the traditional crafts of Gujarat make excellent
buys.
Gujarat at the same time
is also one of the most highly developed industrial states of India,
blending harmoniously an ancient heritage with a vibrant present.
