In the heart of Gujarat lies Ahmedabad, a city that effortlessly marries its ancient roots with modernity. As an age-old trading hub nestled along the Sabarmati River, Ahmedabad has cultivated a rich tapestry of cultural history spanning several centuries. This November, Ahmedabad proudly invites the world to celebrate the transformative power of veganism at the IVU World Vegan Festival from November 4-5th.

With its diverse culinary traditions that already lean heavily towards vegetarianism, Ahmedabad is poised to redefine Indian cuisine's vegan possibilities. Visitors will experience the gastronomic delights of local Indian dishes, reimagined in a truly vegan style.

But Ahmedabad is more than just a vegan food lover's paradise. A city of magnificent contrasts, it will tantalize the senses of all who visit.

History enthusiasts can traverse through time in the narrow alleys of the old city, discovering architectural gems like the Bhadra Fort, Jama Masjid, and the iconic Sidi Saiyyed Mosque with its intricately carved windows.

Art and culture seekers will find their calling in the Calico Museum of Textiles, a treasure trove of Indian fabrics and textile craft dating back to the 17th century. The enchanting Kankaria Lake, the tranquil Sabarmati Ashram, and the bustling night market of Manek Chowk are additional must-visit places, offering diverse experiences appealing to various tastes.

This city has a profound respect for the natural world, with spots such as the Indroda Nature Park, a haven for wildlife and botanical wonders. It's an attribute that aligns seamlessly with the core values of veganism. Ahmedabad's conscious coexistence with nature makes it the ideal host for an event that promotes respect and compassion for all living beings.
