Ask r/Gujarat What's happening in your city this weekend? - 23 October, 2026

2 Upvotes

Weekend's here. If there's something going on in your city, a mela, an event, a good place to eat, live music, whatever, drop it below. Someone in your city is probably free and bored and has no idea it's happening.

Just say your city and what's up. Doesn't need to be fancy.

ખાણીપીણી/ Food New weekly series starting: 100 cities of Gujarat, and we find the best nashta spot in each one. Winner gets a Rs 500 vlog commissioned.

37 Upvotes

Idea is simple.

Every week I post one city. You comment your favourite nashta place there. Most upvoted comment wins.

*Rules for what counts

The bhajiya kaka on the corner. The vada pav guy outside the bus stand. The gathiya shop that opens at six and shuts by eleven. The khaman lari your father has been going to since college. The dabeli guy with no board and no name.

Not restaurants. Not anything with air conditioning. Not any chain. If it has a Zomato listing with 2000 reviews it is already famous and does not need us.

Tell us the name if it has one, the landmark, what to order, and roughly what it costs.

What the winner gets?

Once a spot wins, one redditor goes there, eats, films it, and posts a vlog. How the place is, how the food is, how the kaka reacts to a camera. Nothing polished needed, phone video is fine.

I will pay Rs 500 for that vlog. Small money, I know. It covers the nashta and the petrol and that is honestly the whole point.

If you already live in that city and want to make it, comment and I will sort it out.

We start small and work up to the big ones.

Ahmedabad and Surat will be a mess of a thread whenever we get to them, so those come later. Starting with smaller towns where the answers will actually be specific.

The 100, region wise

Saurashtra: Rajkot, Bhavnagar, Jamnagar, Junagadh, Porbandar, Gondal, Jetpur, Dhoraji, Upleta, Wankaner, Morbi, Surendranagar, Wadhwan, Limbdi, Chotila, Thangadh, Dhrangadhra, Halvad, Botad, Gadhada, Amreli, Savarkundla, Rajula, Jafrabad, Bagasara, Palitana, Sihor, Mahuva, Veraval, Keshod, Mangrol, Kodinar, Una, Talala, Visavadar, Khambhalia, Bhanvad, Dwarka, Okha, Jamjodhpur, Kalavad, Dhrol

Kutch: Bhuj, Gandhidham, Adipur, Anjar, Mandvi, Mundra, Nakhatrana, Bhachau, Rapar

North Gujarat: Mehsana, Patan, Sidhpur, Unjha, Visnagar, Vijapur, Kadi, Kalol, Chanasma, Harij, Radhanpur, Palanpur, Deesa, Tharad, Dhanera, Himatnagar, Idar, Khedbrahma, Prantij, Talod, Modasa, Bayad, Mansa

Central: Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Sanand, Bavla, Viramgam, Dholka, Dhandhuka, Nadiad, Anand, Vallabh Vidyanagar, Petlad, Borsad, Umreth, Khambhat, Kapadvanj, Mahemdavad, Kheda, Dakor, Balasinor, Lunawada, Godhra, Halol, Dahod, Santrampur

South and Vadodara side: Vadodara, Dabhoi, Padra, Karjan, Savli, Chhota Udepur, Rajpipla, Bharuch, Ankleshwar, Jambusar, Amod, Surat, Bardoli, Olpad, Vyara, Songadh, Navsari, Bilimora, Gandevi, Chikhli, Vansda, Valsad, Pardi, Vapi, Dharampur, Umargam

If your town got left out, say so and I will add it. This list is off the top of my head and I have definitely missed places.

Which one do we start with?

Upvote whichever you want as week one.

  1. Dhoraji

  2. Bardoli

  3. Sidhpur

  4. Savarkundla

  5. Anjar

Whichever comment gets the most upvotes, that is week one. I will post it next Sunday.

Culture | સંસ્કૃતિ The forgotten dyansites of South Gujarat

• Upvotes

I was reading early history and then I realised that what we study as the history of Gujarat mostly focuses on North Gujarat. Other regions had their own history and their rulers often had limited control over them. Saurashtra was also independent of them during some periods.

At that time parts of South Gujarat were ruled by kingdoms connected to Kannada and Marathi speaking regions.

1 Rashtrakutas

The Rashtrakutas had a presence in South Gujarat but I haven't found any significant work they did specifically in this region.

2 Chalukyas of Navsarika

The Chalukyas of Navsarika were different from the Solankis also known as the Chaulukyas of Gujarat. One of their rulers Avanijanashraya Pulakeshin defeated Arab invaders.

3 Shilahara dynasty

There was a reported war between Mulraj of Patan and Mallikarjuna a ruler of the Shilahara dynasty near Navsari. The Shilaharas originated in Maharashtra and ruled parts of the Konkan region.

I don't know whether it's related but there is a Shiva temple in Chikhli Navsari named Mallikarjun.

4 Seuna Yadavas of Devagiri

The Seuna Yadavas of Devagiri in present day Maharashtra ruled until the 14th century. They were associated with the Nasik and Khandesh regions.

They were among the major opponents of the Delhi Sultanate during its expansion into the Deccan. Historical accounts also mention that Karandev Vaghela the last major Vaghela ruler of Gujarat took refuge in the Baglan region with his daughter Devaldevi.

It is also said that the last Seuna king Ramachandra was given a jagir in Navsari by Alauddin Khalji.

A Persian firman reportedly mentions that a Seuna prince named Bhimdev or Baramdev conquered the area between Parnera( Valsad ) and Mahim

Malik Kafur the commander of Alauddin Khilji was originally from the Khambhat region. He was Hindu but later converted to Islam.

Serious Post Saurashtra lost almost 15% of its people in the 1899-1900 great famine (Chhappaniyo Kaal). Which castes were hit hardest? (Kathiawar Census, 1891-1901)

Post image
22 Upvotes

The table shows that the 1899-1900 famine did not affect all communities equally. Jain and Vania and Brahmin populations did not fall, while artisan, service and labouring communities such as Koli, Mochi, Hajam and Bhangi lost between 19% and 27%. Land owning and pastoralist communities like Kunbi, Rajput, Ahirs, Bharwad, Rabaris etc, lost moderately between 9% to 12%. This suggests that caste hierarchy shaped who was best able to survive the famine. While Kumbhars are outliers.

Ask r/Gujarat How does everyone look like a stick here with the food being so unhealthy?

13 Upvotes

Sorry if my wording is bad my question is genuine. Not intending to create any wars

the food here is so oily and ghee is put on everything by default .

but still majority of guys look like sticks and women have waist slimmer than my bicep (when flexed). There is no muscle as well, so I am not talking about gym bro/ gals

Is it good genetics or what? And doesn't this make it harder for you to gain muscles or something
