Edition 9 of our heritage walk emerges from this very longing. We chose Saanjh ni Shodh In Search of Dusk as the theme because dusk, that sacred in-between time, reflects exactly what our souls crave today: stillness, connection, and meaning. Starting Point: Shree Swaminarayan Mandir, Kalupur Time: 7:00 AM – 7:30 AM Step into the heart of one of Ahmedabad’s most iconic temples, founded in 1822 by Swaminarayan himself—where peace meets architectural brilliance in every carved detail. Kavi Dalpatram Memorial and Chowk Time: 7:35 AM – 8:00 AM In this very chowk where Kavi Dalpatram once wandered, his words still echo through the streets. A poet who captured the soul of Gujarat, right from the very lanes we walk today. Shree Kala Ramji Temple Time: 8:00 AM – 8:10 AM Tucked away in the pols of Ahmedabad, this temple dedicated to the dark-complexioned form of Lord Ram is a hidden gem—its serene courtyard and unique idol reflecting centuries of devotion and artistic tradition. Harkuwar Shethani’s Haveli Time: 8:10 AM – 8:20 AM An elegant 19th-century mansion built by a wealthy philanthropist widow, this haveli stands as a rare example of a woman’s legacy in Ahmedabad’s architectural history—its intricate wooden façade whispering stories of resilience, generosity, and grace. Dave Haveli, Verai Pada ni Pol Time: 8:25 AM – 8:30 AM Wander through Dave Haveli, a timeless testament to the merchant-class architecture of old Ahmedabad. Every beam and balcony here tells stories of community and culture from the 19th century. Shri Ranchhodji Mandir, Bagda Pol Time: 8:40 AM – 9:00 AM Built in the early 19th century, this temple has long been a beacon of faith and solace in Bagda Pol. For generations, devotees have come here to seek blessings from Lord Krishna. Shri Trikam Ray Ji Mandir, Sarangpur Time: 9:10 AM – 9:30 AM Since its establishment in the 19th century, this temple has been the spiritual heartbeat of Sarangpur, where Lord Krishna, as Trikam Ray, is worshipped with unwavering devotion. Ending Point: Return to Shree Swaminarayan Mandir, Kalupur Time: 9:30 AM – 9:45 AM As the morning mellows and the city stirs to life, we walk back to where it all began. This return is not just a physical step—it’s a quiet homecoming, a circle completed, echoing the soul of Saanjh ni Shodh.
