Gandhinagar is the capital of Gujarat, India. Gandhinagar is around 23 kilometers north of Ahmedabad, on the west central point of the industrial corridor that connects Delhi and Mumbai.

Gandhinagar is on the west bank of the Sabarmati River, approximately 545 kilometers (338 miles) north of Mumbai and 901 kilometers (560 miles) southwest of Delhi. The Akshardham Temple is located in Gandhinagar.[ There was a strong desire to keep Gandhinagar entirely Indian, in part because Gujarat was Mahatma Gandhi’s birthplace. As a result, the planning was handled by two Indian town planners, Prakash M Apte and H. K. Mewada, who had apprenticed under Le Corbusier in Chandigarh.
