A state in western India known for its long coastline, business-friendly environment, and as the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi. It is one of India's most industrialized and economically developed states.
From Sanskrit 'Gurjaratra' or 'Gurjaradesa', meaning 'land of the Gurjaras', referring to an ancient tribe. The name evolved through various linguistic changes in regional languages to become the modern 'Gujarat'.
Gujarat is home to the world's largest salt desert, the Rann of Kutch, which transforms into a stunning white landscape during dry season and attracts thousands of flamingos during monsoon season. The state also produces about 70% of India's salt and is famous for its entrepreneurial spirit - many of India's most successful business families trace their origins to Gujarat.
