AHMEDABAD, India — As India’s first UNESCO World Heritage City, Ahmedabad stands as a living museum where history is not just preserved — it lives and breathes.
Waiting for my guide to the city — located in the western state of Gujarat — I stand at Teen Darwaza, one of the last surviving of Ahmedabad’s original 21 gates, caught in a time warp. When Sanket Bhatt arrives, his enthusiasm for Ahmedabad’s historic streets is palpable.
