Built immediately after the founding of Ahmedabad in 1411, Bhadra Fort now houses government offices and a Kali temple. Its gate formed the eastern entrance of the Ahmedabad citadel, which stretched west to the river. From the roof you can see the formidable structure and views of surrounding streets. Between the fort and the Teen Darwaja to its east was the Maidan Shahi (Royal Square), where royal processions and polo games took place. Today it’s a seething marketplace.
