Have you always been fascinated by places that are culturally and traditionally inclined? Are you looking for a place that can soothe your eyes and soul at the same time? Then what are you waiting for? Pack your bags and transport your body and soul to the pure and pious land of Gujarat- the birthplace of “The Father of the Nation”.

Gujarat - An Overview

The number of days required to visit Gujarat depends on various factors such as your interests and availability. Since it is considered to be a diverse state with a wide range of attractions, including historical sites, cultural landmarks as well and wildlife sanctuaries, it may take you a week or two to cover up the primary locations. If you simply want to visit the major and popular cities of the state such as Ahmedabad, Vadodara, and Surat, you may wrap your trip up in 4-5 days. On the other hand, if you want to explore the Rann of Kutch, you need to invest at least 2-3 days for this unique and memorable experience. However, if you are somewhat religious and looking out to plan a spiritually blessed trip, you need to visit places like Somnath, and Dwarka, and for that, you have to spend 3-4 days.

Temples of Gujarat

Gujarat has received worldwide recognition and popularity for its ancient and celebrated temples. It is known to be one of the most desirable tourist places in the world due to the presence of temples that add a Midas touch to its charm. If you are looking for the most astounding temples of Gujarat to add to your “Gujarat Temple Tour” list, then you must consider Swaminarayan Akshardham and Sun Temple, Modhera.

Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple

The word “Akshardham” means the divine abode of God. It is a pure and pious place where you can offer your prayers and devotion, thereby facilitating the way to connect with the almighty. This temple is occupying a major portion of the city of Gandhinagar and is a humble tribute to Bhagwan Swaminarayan (1781-1830) and the avatars, devas, and sages of Hinduism. There are approximately 200 idols inside the temple, representing spiritual stalwarts from over many millennia. Each prayer offered in this temple is a baby step closer to God. A visit to Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple is a life-altering experience where you will find yourself spiritually inclined and surrounded by positivity only.

Sun Temple, Modhera

This temple is dedicated to Lord Surya (the solar deity), located in the Modhera district of Gujarat. Bhima I of the Chaulukya dynasty is credited with the construction of this temple but now people don’t offer any worship here and is a protected monument maintained by the Archeological Survey of India. The temple is mainly divided into three compartments- the shrine hall, the assembly hall, and the reservoir, which has steps to reach the bottom and numerous small shrines.

Interestingly, this temple hosts an annual 3-day dance festival called Uttaradha Mahotsav during the third week of January, following the festival of Uttarayan. Here, dancers mainly present classical dance forms.

Rani ki vav

This city used to be very popular during the period of the Chalukya dynasty or Solankis of Patan. There is a stepwell called the Rani ki vav (Queen’s step well) which was constructed during that time and is a richly sculptured monument. This step well was built by Udaymati in memory of her husband Bhima I (1022-1063). Moreover, there is a small gate below the last step of the step well, having a 30 km tunnel that is now blocked using stones and mud. It is to be noted that this stepwell is the oldest and the deepest out of the 120 other step wells located in Gujarat. It holds the record of being on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the year 2014.

Laxmi Vilas Palace, Vadodara

It is considered to be still the residence of Vadodara’s royal family. This palace is spread across an area of approximately 500 acres and also holds the record of being the largest private home built to date and four times the size of Buckingham Palace. The well-maintained interior, elegant mosaics, breathtakingly beautiful chandeliers, and artwork are enough to keep you engaged all the time while visiting the palace.

There is a stepwell in the premises called the Navlakhi stepwell which is a window to the ancient water resource system built by the then Kings of Gujarat. Besides, this palace also houses the Moti Bagh Cricket Ground, the offices of the Baroda Cricket Association, and a rare indoor teak floored tennis court as well as a badminton court.

Statue of Unity

This statue has been built in loving memory of the Iron Man of India- Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who was also the first home minister of independent India. It holds the record of being the World’s tallest statue which was inaugurated in the year 2018. It is a tribute from the people of Gujarat to the leader who prioritized people during his lifetime.

The Statue of Unity stands strong and proud on the Sadhu Bet hillock, connected by a 300-metre bridge, which offers access from the mainland to the statue. Visitors can also enjoy the light and sound show using laser technology projected on this statue that takes place every evening except Monday.
