Overview
Gandhinagar is the capital city of Gujarat and twin city of Ahmedabad, often hailed as the greenest capital in India, built as a planned city to house the state government after Gujarat separated from Maharashtra. The city is organised into numbered sectors with wide roads and abundant greenery, making it a pleasant contrast to busier Indian cities.
