The
west coast state of Gujarat is not one of India's busiest tourist destinations
although it is quite easy to slot Gujarat in between Mumbai and the
cities of Rajasthan. Gujarat has a long varied history and a great number
of interesting places to visit.
Along the south coast are the sites where
many of the great events in Lord Krishna's life took place. Gujarat had
close ties with the life of the father of modern India, Mahatma Gandhi.
Mahatma Gandhi was born and had spent his early years in Gujarat. Some of the
most important sites in Gujarat are Jain Temples at Palitana, and at Girnar
Hill, near Junagarh.
Gujarat is one of the India's wealthier states with
a number of important industries, particularly textiles and electronics
and has the dubious distinction of having the largest petrochemical complex
in the country. Apart from its Jain Temples Gujarat's major attraction include
the last Asian lions, in the Gir Forest and the fascinating Indo-Saracenic
architecture of Ahmedabad.
