This is a wonderful Forum....Congratulations Parasbhai for that
Let us test our General Knowledge as Amdavadi................
as my per my knowledge of history, ahmedabad is know for its famous 12 Darwaja.......which are those 12 Darwajas
1. Lal darwaja
2. Teen Darwaja
3. Jamalpur Darwaja
4. Aastodiya
5. Shahpur
6. Sarangpur
7. Delhi Darwaja
8. Dariyapur Darawaja
9. Raipur Darwaja
Friends help me to locate. 3 more Darwajas of Ahmedabad
Is there any Darwaja at Gomtipur ??? have you seen it ???
I found one more Darwaja that is Kalupur Darwaja....(or trivia is whether Sarangpur Darwaja and Kalupur Darwaja are the same ??)
In my first post I mentioned Lal darwaja and Shahpur Darwaja....but i think there is No darwaja at Shahpur...its Shahpur Chakla only and the one Darwaja in that area is Delhi Darwaja
There is no Darwaja at Laldarawaja...but we can take The darwaja of Bhadra Fort...in replacement of that......
so still we are missing One Darwaja of Ahmedabad
yup pretty sure about gomtipur... an uncle used to have a shop out there... i think the missing one might be at Khanpur, not sure but i think i have heard something like Khanpur darwaja in news or somewhere...
Aha. Nice topic.
Milind bhai are you sure that there are only 12 darvajas ? :D
I would like to add some Names in the list.
(1) Saraspur Darvaja
(2) Panchkua Darvaja
(3) Khanpur Darvaja
Sarangpur Darwaja & Kalupur Darwaza are different.
:D
Panchkuva darwaja agreed
but Saraspur darwaja ?? khanpur Darwaja ???
Parasbhai I am not sure whether there are only 12 darwajas or more...but i have read or listened somewhere that there are 12.
Let us remake the list now.
1. Lal Darwaja (or Bhadra Darwaja)
2. Teen Darwaja
3. Aastodia Darwaja
4. Raipur Darwaja
5. Sarangpur darwaja
6. Kalupur Darwaja (As parasbhai said its different but i dont know where it is located)
7. Gomtipur Darwaja
8. Premdarwaja
9. Panchkuva Darwaja
10. Delhi darwaja
11. Jamalpur Darwaja
12. Dariyapur darwaja.......
If there are Khanpur Darwaja and Saraspur Darwaja we would have 14. please mention the location of Khanpur and Saraspur Darwaja if they are in existence
