Gujarat is one the most prosperous states in India, forming as it does the most
industrialised corridor between the Town of Mehsana in North Gujarat and Bombay
in Maharashtra. Its original wealth stemmed from its roots in textile industry that
is now nearly dead and defunct. However, due to that history, some of the world's
best textiles and dress materials are still found only in Gujarat.
Another reason to visit Gujarat will have to be its rich culinary interests. Gujarti
cuisine is one of the best tasting vegetarian cuisine in the world. Famous varieties
include Dhokla, Khandavi, Khaman, Khakhara, Shakkarpara, Muthia, Bajri Vada and
Bajri Dhebra. Gujarati sweets are also as famous, as are Gujarati Rotlas.
Gujarat, One of the most vibrant states, the economy of Gujarat registered a growth
rate of 17.6% between 1990-91 to 1997-98.
Gujarat Tourism - Having the only lion sanctuary of Asia, the only temple clad summit
of Shatrunjaya and the only site of the Indus valley civilization with an elaborate
network of hotels, restaurants, entertainment parks, water resorts, kala bhandars
& many more, has an inherent strength to pull the Gujarat tourism all over the
world under the umbrella of web based services.
Though off the regular tourist beat, Gujarat is well worth a visit. It is home to
people of diverse races and religions, ruins of ancient cities and some of the finest
wild life sanctuaries in the country.
