Gandhinagar () is the capital of the state of Gujarat in India. Gandhinagar is located approximately north of Ahmedabad, on the west central point of the industrial corridor between the megacities of Delhi and Mumbai.
Gandhinagar lies on the west bank of the Sabarmati River, about north of Mumbai and southwest of Delhi. The Akshardham temple is located in Gandhinagar. There was a determination to make Gandhinagar a purely Indian enterprise, partly because the state of Gujarat was the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi. For this reason, the planning was done by two Indian town planners: Prakash M Apte and H. K. Mewada, who had apprenticed with Le Corbusier in Chandigarh.
