•         But here, I would like to talk about Sabarmati River, as it is the river which passes through my hometown, Ahmedabad.
•         Sabarmati River originates in the Aravalli Range of the Udaipur District of Rajasthan and meets the Gulf of Cambay of Arabian Sea after travelling 371 km in a south-westerly direction across Rajasthan and Gujarat.

•         Sabarmati Riverfront is a waterfront being developed along the banks of Sabarmati River in Ahmadabad. 
•         It is one of the most successful project of Gujarat state.
