Mithakali

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mithakali is a part of Ahmedabad city. Once a fairly nondescript and quiet place, it has recently seen a real estate explosion.

Today Mithakali is home to the Crosswords book store chain, the Pantaloons department store chain, the Westside stores chain which is a Tata company, the Subway sandwich store, Natural Ice cream, an Adidas showroom and many other big names that are opening up in Ahmedabad. Mahatma Gandhi International School is also based in this area.

A multi speciality hospital Medi-Surge is located in Mithakali.

Mithakali is also a hub for offices and small stores being located at one end of the C.G. Road.

Mitahakli is today used to refer to a large traffic circle with a 6-road intersection:

1 road leads to Law Garden, 1 to C.G.Road, 1 to the Navrangpura Bus Stand, 1 to the Mount Carmel railway crossing, 1 towards Mitahakli village, and 1 to Ashram Road through the Mercury underbridge.

Mithakali was once a village on the meter-gauge railway line. It was swallowed up by Ahmedabad city in its westward growth during the 1970s. On this site there is a map depicting the growth of Ahmedabad city. Though Mithakali isn’t mentioned, it is in the light-blue zone shown as growing from 1970 to 1989. It is not far from Gandhigram station, which is shown.
