Things to do in Ahmedabad in March

1

Sabarmati Ashram

Gandhi lived here 1917–1930 — the simple rooms where India's independence was planned, the Hriday Kunj main residence, and the museum of the Salt March are profoundly moving.

2

Adalaj Stepwell

The 15th-century five-storey Hindu stepwell — one of the most beautiful structures in India. The geometric carvings descend 30 metres into the earth, catching natural light at different angles through the day.

3

Old City Pol Walk

A Heritage Walk through the UNESCO-listed pols (interconnected mohallas) at dawn — carved wooden havelis, intricate latticework, and the most complex medieval urban planning in India.

4

Sidi Saiyyed Mosque Jali

The 16th-century stone lattice window known as the "Tree of Life" — the most intricate stone carving in Gujarat, used as the logo of IIM Ahmedabad. Just 2 windows. Extraordinary.

5

Gujarati Thali

The most elaborate thali in India — Agashiye restaurant at House of MG serves a traditional Gujarati thali with 20+ items on a silver thali, including endless refills.

6

Kankaria Lake Evening

The 1451 polygonal lake built by Sultan Ahmad Shah II is now Ahmedabad's great public park — tethered balloon rides, a zoo, toy train, aquarium, and a lakefront promenade where thousands of Amdavadis gather every evening. The Navratri Garba celebrations held here are among the city's finest.
