Hello Everyone, I hope you're doing great! Summer can be tough with those heat waves, but don't worry, nothing lasts forever. 😂😂 I'm not sure whether to be proud of completing my degree without any backlogs or to be worried about finding a job. Finding a good job is way harder than I thought, but I hope my friend and I get one soon. By the way, have you read any good books lately? I recently read three books by Akshat Gupta and found them amazing. His next book is coming out this month, and I'm looking forward to purchasing it. No matter where you live, ice gola is the same everywhere. Just make sure you eat good quality and safe food.
Hello everyone, and welcome to my 41st blog post!
With a new blog comes a new beginning. I've started this blog to share insights about my city. If you missed my previous parts, you can find them on my website.
Let's dive in! If you're in Vadodara, it's impossible not to have seen Mandavi Gate. The name Mandavi itself signifies mandap. In 1511, when Khalil Khan became the emperor of Gujarat, he commissioned the construction of Mandvi Gate. Initially, this structure had only two floors. Over the passing years, Ganpatrao Gaekwad, the king of the Gaekwad dynasty, expanded it to four floors.
On top of the gate, Gaekwad's flag proudly waved. Back then, this gate was used for tax collection and making important announcements. It held such a royal status that only royal elephants and cars, including the royals' carriages, were allowed to pass through.
Mandvi Gate has been a center of attraction since its early years and continues to be one today. If you ever visit Vadodara, don't miss the chance to explore Mandavi Gate and experience the blessings of two religions under one roof.
That wraps up my discussion about my city, Vadodara.
I hope you enjoyed reading my blog. Share it with your friends. Thank you!
