Gujarat shares its borders with the states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Maharashtra, as well as the Union territories of Daman and Diu and Dadra and Nagar Haveli. The Arabian Sea bounds its western coastline.
The state capital is Gandhinagar, while Ahmedabad, the largest city, serves as an economic and cultural hub. Gujarat features two distinctive geographical regions: the fertile plains of Saurashtra in the west and the arid landscapes of Kutch in the northwest. Its diverse topography includes the Gir Forest National Park, the only natural habitat of the Asiatic lion. Historically, Gujarat played a pivotal role in trade and commerce, with ancient ports like Lothal in its maritime history. The state also has a unique architectural legacy with influences from various periods, including the Solanki dynasty's temples, Islamic monuments, and colonial-era structures. Ahmedabad, an UNESCO World Heritage City, reflects a blend of Hindu, Islamic, and Jain influences in its architecture. The city's pols (traditional housing clusters) and Sabarmati Ashram, associated with Mahatma Gandhi, attract history enthusiasts. Vadodara, another major city, boasts the Laxmi Vilas Palace, a symbol of Indo-Saracenic architecture. The state's diverse cultural tapestry is showcased during festivals like Navratri, Uttarayan (Kite Festival), and Rann Utsav in Kutch. Gujarat is well-connected by a network of roads, railways, and airports.
