The name 'Gujarat' is said to have been derived from the
Prakrit Gujjar Ratta or Gujjar Rashtra - the land of
Gujjars - a tribe that entered India with the Huns in
ancient time and wandering through Punjab and Rajasthan,
settled in western India.
Even before the advent of the Aryans, Gujarat had trade
links with the ancient civilisation of Sumer, Babylon,
Assyria and Egypt. The pre-Arayan Harappan culture
survived here for over five centures after it was
destroyed in Sind and Punjab. The ancient port of Lothal
excavated recently has been identified as one of the
most important centres of the 4500 years old Indus
Valley Civilisation.

buildings, ancient monuments, mosques, temples attract a
