<\/div>\n\nThis is the principal shrine of a goddess who has been worshiped since the pre-Vedic period. She is often referred to as Arasuri Amba, named for the location of the temple in the Arasur hills, near the source of the Saraswati river at the south-western end of the Aravali mountain range.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/article><\/div> <\/div>\n \n

The vav was later flooded by the nearby Saraswati river and silted over until the late 1980s, when it was excavated by the Archeological Survey of India, with the carvings found in pristine condition. Rani Ki Vav is amongst the finest stepwells in India, and one of the most famous legacies of the ancient capital city.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/article><\/div> <\/div>\n \n

<\/div>\n\n\nAround 70 Km from Ganpat University<\/a><\/h2>\n\nFor many years Ahmedabad was the center of Mahatma Gandhi\u2019s non-violent struggle for India\u2019s independence. The energy of that movement can still be felt at the Satyagraha Ashram that he established on the banks of the Sabarmati in 1917, after the previous Kochrab Ashram had to be abandoned because of a breakout of plague. He chose a location that was, at the time, far out of the city so that he could try farming and other such experiments. He learnt the art of spinning and weaving, and soon the ashram began to buzz with khadi, not just as a way of producing clothes, but also as a way of thought. The activity waned when he moved to Sevagram Ashram near Wardha, Maharashtra, after the Namak Satyagraha, leaving the Ashram in the hands of the Harijan Sevak Sangh.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/article><\/div> <\/div>\n \n \n \n![\"image\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/kirtitoran.jpg\")
<\/div>\n\n\nAround 45 Km from Ganpat University<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\nThe town is famous for its torans, a pair of 12th century columns supporting an arch, about 40 feet tall built in red and yellow sandstone, just north of the walled town. They stand majestically on the bank of Sharmistha Talav, on a road going down from Arjun Bari. They are among the few surviving examples of the entrance gates, once a regular feature of the architecture of Gujarat in Solanki period. The carving style is similar to the Rudra Mahalaya at Sidhpur.\nPerhaps erected after a war victory, the architecture is embellished with carvings of battle and hunting scenes. The one to the east is in better condition and has been used as a symbol of Gujarat in recent times. The torans might have served as an entrance to a large temple complex, but there are no remains found here.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/article><\/div> <\/div>\n \n

It is built in 6000 tonnes of pink sandstone and not a bit of steel has been used. The temple is 108 ft in height, 240 ft in length and 131 ft in width. A point worth noting is that this modern monument to Hinduism was built as per the injunctions of Vastu Shastra.The monument enshrining the seven foot high, gold-leafed Murti (idol) of Lord Swaminarayan is the focal point of the complex. The monument stands on 7 sculpted pillars, 210 single-piece stone beams, 57 window grills, M domes, eight ornate zarokhas, etc. The sanctum sanctorum contains the 1.2 tonne gold-plated idol of Lord Swaminarayan, the founder of the sect that bears his name, shown in a sitting posture with his right hand raised in abhay mudra.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/article><\/div> <\/div>\n \n

Acharyadev Buddhi Sagarsurisvarji was inspired in a dream to install the idol of Ghantakarna Mahavir Dev in 1923 A.D. This idol is considered to have miraculous powers.
