Explore The Historic Victoria Garden: Green Haven of Ahmedabad

Victoria Garden, also known as Lokmanya Tilak Bag, is a historic public park located near the Riverfront and Ellis Bridge in Ahmedabad. It was created during the British period and initially has a statue of Queen Victoria, which is now in the Sarkar Kendra Museum. The park was renamed after Lokmanya Tilak, with his statue unveiled and honoured by Mahatma Gandhi in 1929. Today, the park is a favourite spot for people to gather, relax, and enjoy entertaining activities.
