Gujarat, Western state in India

Gujarat extends from the Rann of Kutch salt desert in the northwest to the fertile coastal plains near Mumbai in the southeast.

The state of Gujarat established its current boundaries in 1960 when the former Bombay state divided into Maharashtra and Gujarat based on language differences.

The traditional dance form Garba involves performers moving in circular patterns while wearing colorful attire during the nine-day Navratri festival.

Gujarat contains three international airports, an extensive railway network, and the Mundra Port, which processes a substantial portion of Indian cargo traffic.

The Gir Forest National Park in Gujarat remains the sole natural habitat where Asiatic lions exist outside of Africa.
