People of Ahmedabad celebrated the 610th `birthday’ of their city with a slew of activities on Friday .The city was founded by Sultan Ahmad Shah in 1411. This year’s anniversary of its foundation is the first after Ahmedabad’s nomination earlier this year as India’s first UNESCO World Heritage City .
The celebrations started with decendent Chandan nath performing puja at Manek Burj at 9:30 am.
