Kayavarohan – The ancient town of Gujarat

Kayavarohan (કાયાવરોહણ) is an ancient and spiritually rich town located between Vadodara and the Statue of Unity. My first encounter with this place was completely unplanned. Around 2015, while travelling from Ahmedabad toward Poicha Mandir, I took a wrong turn and accidentally arrived in Kayavarohan. I stopped there for a simple cup of tea. But what I experienced stayed with me far longer. There was an unexpected sense of calm and positivity in the air that instantly caught my attention. Something about the town felt deeply powerful, almost magnetic. My instincts told me this was no ordinary place. Little did I know then that this chance detour would turn into the beginning of a much deeper curiosity about this ancient town. ✨
