Serendipity by the Sabarmati

The Sabarmati flows through the district of Gandhinagar along a forest that mimics the river by rising, falling and meandering; forming ponds and lacunas within itself. This sprightly savanna forest holds unforeseen mysteries that resonate with the seemingly untouched and the wounded parts of the riverbank in the district. The aim of this Forest Park project is to unfold these mysteries through a serendipitous journey and preserve the city’s bond with it through a wild riverfront.
