Travelogue #1 | Amdavad ni Gufa

Do you feel stressed out and tired of this worldly farrago and want to venture into something cool and Zen? Then the Amdavadni Gufa is a place for you!

The Amdavadni Gufa offers an extraordinary opportunity to experience a collaborative effort of two great legends, namely B.V Doshi, a genius architect and M.F Hussain, a renowned artist!
The strange dome is set below ground level; it makes sense because the main objective of this dome was cool down tired visitors from the raging ahmedabadi heat!
The whole structure is supported by a whole lot of regularly placed, irregularly inclined Coney pillars!
It also features beautiful silhouettes of women, horses and other earthy creatures!
Moving on to the Centre attention, which you first will observe when you enter the dome are M.F Hussain’s magnificent paintings!
The dome’s walls are filled with brightly coloured horses, humans and abstract figures that were beyond my understanding!

Now that we’re done dealing with the main attraction lets move on towards the side attractions.
The campus of Ahmedabad University also includes an art gallery, which presents splendid works of art made by both, amateur and experienced artists every week!

The Hussain-Doshi Dome sure is a treat for the eyes!
I’m sure that you will be Hungry and will be looking for food after such a mesmerising day, don’t worry ‘cause I’ve got your back!
Food inn the restaurant features very appetizing and mouth-watering indo Arabian food!
It aesthetically too is remarkable and has digital projections of famous places like The Taj Mahal and popular mosques drawn by Arabic letters!
Once you’re all ready to order food, don’t forget to include their scrumptious chicken steak and fries, which will sure make you drool and want you to come back again!

The Dome-Steak sure is a perfect holiday plan for me!
How do you feel about these places and the plan itself?
Let me know down in the comment section below!
Happy Travelling!
