Comments

"Quite unstructured exhibition. You feel a bit lost, if you don't know anything about his life in beforehand. Nevertheless, a nice place with a peaceful atmosphere." [Hendrik, Germany (2007)]

Restaurants/Cafes
Vishala (Veg)

Beautiful, village-like place outside of Ahmedabad (15 min riksha drive). They have a puppet show, traditional music and offer hookahs. You pay a fixed price (250 Rs., status: 27.10.2007) and can eat as much as you want. There is only one menu. As it is typical Gujarati food, everything is a bit sweet.

Comments "My favorite restaurant in Ahmedabad with fantastic atmosphere. Dance a bit, when they start playing music!" [Hendrik, Germany (2007)]
