About Gujarat

Translation verification in progress. Showing EN version. Help translate →

Gujarat anchors the western coast of India’s sacred geography — Somnath (the first Jyotirlinga, repeatedly rebuilt), Dwarka (one of the Char Dham, Krishna’s capital), Nageshwar (a coastal Jyotirlinga), and the Shakti Peeth at Ambaji. The state is the original home of Swaminarayan-Sampradaya Vaishnavism.
