Ahmedabad district, Administrative district in Gujarat, India.
Ahmedabad district is an administrative area in Gujarat that contains ten talukas, including Dholera, Dhandhuka, Daskroi, Bavla, Sanand, Viramgam, Ahmedabad City, and Dholka. These administrative subdivisions range from densely populated urban centers to agricultural and rural settlements spread across the landscape.
This district traces its origins to the ancient settlement of Ashaval, which became Karnavati under Chaulukya rule before Ahmed Shah I established the city as his capital in 1411. This founding moment shaped the region into a major center of commerce and administration for centuries to come.
The population of over 7 million residents primarily speaks Gujarati, with Hinduism representing 83 percent of religious practices, followed by Islam and Jainism.
The region experiences winter temperatures around 11°C (52°F) and summer heat reaching 41°C (106°F), so plan your visit according to the season. The area includes both dense urban zones and quieter rural sections, each with different accessibility and travel patterns.
The district maintains the seventh-largest population among all districts in India, bordered by Kheda, Mehsana, Anand, and Surendranagar districts.
