Geography of Ahmedabad

In the middle of the lake is an island palace named Naginawadi, built during the Mughal era.

The Sabarmati bifurcates the city into eastern and western parts, connected by five bridges, two of which were constructed after independence.

The weather is very hot during the months of March to June with the average summer temperature ranging from maximum 43 °C to minimum 23 °C.

The south-west monsoon winds bring humid climate to Ahmedabad from mid-June to mid-September.

The colonial period saw the expansion of the city to the western side of Sabarmati facilitated by the construction of Ellis Bridge in 1875.

This part of the city houses educational institutions, modern buildings, well-planned residential areas, shopping malls, multiplexes and new business districts centred on the C.G.
