Ahmedabad Town Hall

The Ahmedabad Town Hall features Art Deco architecture with thick brick walls, an octagonal concrete dome, and traditional Gujarati temple-inspired elements throughout its structure.

British architect Claude Batley designed this municipal building in 1938, incorporating two rotating squares at 45 degrees to form a star shape leading to an octagonal space.

The building, officially named Sheth Mangaldas Girdhardas Memorial Hall, functions as a central venue for municipal activities, public gatherings, and local community events.

Located near Ellisbridge in Ahmedabad district at coordinates 23.022694, 72.570806, the hall maintains its role as a primary municipal meeting facility.

The structure underwent renovations in 1997 that removed a previous false ceiling and added a surrounding podium while preserving its original architectural character.
