List of pols in Ahmedabad explained

A Pol (pronounced as pole) is a housing cluster which comprises many families of a particular group, linked by caste, profession, or religion.[1] [2] This is a list of Pols in the old walled city of Ahmedabad in Gujarat, India. Heritage of these Pols [3] has helped Ahmedabad gain a place in UNESCO's Tentative Lists, in selection criteria II, III and IV.[4] The secretary-general of EuroIndia Centre quoted that if 12000 homes of Ahmedabad are restored they could be very helpful in promoting heritage tourism and its allied businesses.[5] The Art Reverie in Moto Sutharvado is Res Artis center.
