The two hour walk takes you on a discovery of a city seeped in tradition, history, wonderful Indo-Islamic architecture and lots more. The walk brings you close to the soul of a city which has a rich textile heritage, intricately designed places of worship, wooden carved houses of pol and lots more.
The walk begins from the serene Swaminarayan Mandir in Kalupur and ends in the magnificent Jumma Masjids, covering in between the numerous pols, havelis and chabaturas (bird-feeders),secret passages, ornamental facades and workplaces of artisans. The first stop comes at Kavi Dalpatram Chowk which housed the great 19th century Gujarati poet in Lambeshwar ni Pol. A look at the Calico Dome takes us back to the glory of textile days when Ahmedabad was known as Manchester of India. The century old Kala Ramji Mandir in the Haja Patel in pol with a unique idol of Lord Rams in dark color gives an innate sense of devotion.
The walk ends at the Jumma Masjid which was built in 1423 by emperor Ahmed Shah who built this city.
