Surat, Port city in Gujarat, India.
Surat stands along the Tapti River banks near the Arabian Sea, functioning as a commercial center for diamond cutting and textile manufacturing.
The city emerged as a major port in the 16th century, becoming a center for Dutch, British, and Portuguese trade before British control in 1759.
The regional language of Surti Gujarati combines with celebrations of Navaratri, Diwali, and Makar Sankranti to form the local traditions.
The district covers 4,418 square kilometers with a population of over 6 million people and contains more than 52,000 registered industrial units.
Ninety percent of global diamond cutting and polishing occurs in Surat, making it the largest diamond manufacturing center in the world.
