Why was the capital shifted from Anhilwad Patan to Ahmedabad?

Answer»
  • After the Solanki Dynasty, Vaghela Dynasty ruled over Gujarat.
  • Allauddin Khilji, an invader defeated Karandev Vaghela, the last ruler of Vaghela Dynasty and ended the Rajput Age in Anhitwad Patan.
  • After the Vaghelas, for a long period, Anhilwad Patan remained as the capital of Gujarat for namesake.

Then, in 1411 CE., Ahmedshah of Suitanate Era established a new city called Ahmedabad and made it the capital of Gujarat. Patan, the old capital, was now made the headquarter of Subagiri (District). Sultans then ruled over Gujarat during 15th and 16th century.
