The metacluster comprising the districts of Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Mahesana, Patan, Banaskantha and Sabarkantha, extend from the central to northern part of Gujarat. Ahmedabad, the city named after Sultan Ahmed Shah and situated on the banks of River Sabarmati, was the state capital until1970. The city is in many respects a study in contrasts and contradiction: the spectacular architectural heritage set within the old quarters of the city where even today merchants and skilled crafts persons live in the quaint houses with carved wooden entrances that are characteristic of the pols, the quarters located in winding lanes and alleys interspersed with chowks. On the other hand, the new city of Ahmedabad is a bustling commercial and industrial area that was once famous for its history of commerce in textiles and textile manufacturing and processing industries. Today it is renowned for its institutions of culture, heritage and education such as the Calico Museum of Textiles, the Shreyas Folk Museum and the Gandhi Ashram on the banks of the Sabarmati. The last is of particular relevance to the city as Gandhi launched his movement for truth and non-violence, the satyagraha at Ahmedabad. The Gandhi Ashram’s handmade paper-making unit and Khadi Prayog Samiti, an institution for science and technology research; Self employed women’s Association(SEWA), are few people centred initiatives that use craft as a resource for development. Traditional wooden houses of Gujarat are a repository of ornamentation in wood carving –figurative floral and geometrical motifs in relief, lattice and sculpted form. The exquisite wood carving skills extend to the textile hand block printing industry, which has block carving in Pethapur and Ahmedabad, two traditional textile exporting centres. Stone carving is widely practiced in Ambaji, Patan, Mahesana, Himmatnagar, Ahmedabad and Koteshwar.
