Gujarat Day 2022: Grand events are organised to celebrate the culture, heritage and legacy of the state.
Gujarat Day is observed on May 1 to mark the creation of Gujarat as a separate state. In 1960, two states - Gujarat and Maharashtra - were carved out of Bombay State. Since then, May 1 is celebrated in both the states with great zeal and enthusiasm.
Grand events are organised to celebrate the culture, heritage and legacy of Gujarat. A state-level program is organised to mark the occasion. Usually, these celebrations have been held in the capital Ahmedabad, but this year it will take place in Patan.
A police parade and several cultural programmes are planned for Gujarat Day this year. Bikers from different wings of the state security apparatus will exhibit stunts. Preparations for the event are already underway.
