Gujarat Travel Guide Jan 2026: Flower Show, Kite Festival & Rann Utsav

Ahmedabad Flower Show 2026 & The Grand Gujarat Festival Season

Every year, as January arrives, Ahmedabad transforms into a hub of culture, color, and celebration. While dates may vary slightly year to year, the first month of the year is consistently the best time to visit Gujarat.

The 14th Ahmedabad International Flower Show is currently live at the Sabarmati Riverfront. This year’s theme, “Bharat Ek Gatha” (India: A Saga), has already made history with two Guinness World Records: the World’s Largest Flower Mandala and the World’s Largest Flower Portrait of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
