Gandhinagar, the capital of Gujarat, India, is situated approximately 23 kilometers north of Ahmedabad on the west bank of the Sabarmati River. Designed by Indian town planners Prakash M Apte and H. K. Mewada, who apprenticed with Le Corbusier, the city reflects a deliberate, purely Indian urban planning ethos. Located on the industrial corridor between Delhi and Mumbai, it serves as a serene administrative and cultural hub. The city is home to the magnificent Akshardham temple. Its orderly layout and green spaces make it an ideal base for travelers seeking a blend of business convenience and spiritual tranquility, distinct from the bustle of nearby Ahmedabad.
