00:00A small city of Mehsana district of Gujarat, Vadnagar.
00:06It is not only the birthplace of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,
00:10but it also displays India's rich historical and cultural heritage.
00:16A heritage that is full of diversity.
00:20Vadnagar used to be a business center at one time.
00:24One of the most important places here is the Hathkeshwar Mahadev Temple,
00:28which is known for its exquisite painting and architecture.
00:33The peaceful environment and spiritual importance of the temple
00:37attracts innumerable devotees here.
00:40The entire history of the temple is that it is 2200 years old.
00:45In the Kalyug period, in 2016-2011,
00:49when Mr. Modi kept Vadnagar as a tourist destination,
00:54he developed this place by giving Rs. 19 crores.
00:58And the work is still going on.
01:01And this is Hathkeshwar Mahadev,
01:04who is going to give Aishwarya.
01:08Far from the hustle and bustle of the city,
01:11there is a peaceful place, Sharmistha Lake.
01:14There is also a beautiful theme park near the lake,
01:18which is dedicated to the melodies of Indian classical music.
01:22A little far from the lake, there is Kirti Toran,
01:25which is a wonderful architectural work
01:28depicting the historical importance of Vadnagar.
01:31This Toran, built during the rule of the Chalukya dynasty in the 12th century,
01:35is decorated with the carvings of Hindu deities and Puranic stories.
01:40The Gujarat State Heritage Department
01:43excavated in 2000 and found the remains of a Buddhist temple in Vadnagar.
01:50Which indicates that this city was an important center of Buddhism.
01:55In 1992, when an idol of Buddhism was found in Vadnagar,
02:00it provided even more information about the ancient heritage of this city.
02:06IIT Kharagpur's professor Anindya Sarkar says
02:10that a museum is being built here,
02:13which will show the 2,500-year-old cultural history of this city.
02:19During this excavation, something like seven cultural layers were found.
02:26And each of these cultural layers were characterized
02:30by their different kinds of cultural elements,
02:34like for example, potteries, like coins.
02:38And when we joined the excavation of Vadnagar,
02:43we wanted to know the chronology of the Vadnagar,
02:46that how old the city is.
02:48And the oldest layer, which we define as period one,
02:53it gave us a date of something like 800 BCE,
02:56that means almost 2,800 years old.
03:00And that surprised us very much.
03:03The excavation carried out by IIT Kharagpur, ASI and other institutions
03:09proves that there were human settlements here from the beginning of the 18th century.
03:16Other pages of history are also being opened by the ongoing excavation.
03:20In addition to this, the museum, clock tower and art gallery
03:25together show the story of the development of Vadnagar.
03:28Tourists coming here get to know about the magnificent history of Vadnagar
03:32and the great story of India.
03:35The museum also provides information about different kings and religions.
03:40A special place in this museum
03:42also shows the childhood of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
03:47This is shown in the art gallery,
03:49like which religions have lived here.
03:51Shiva, Dharma, Boudha, Jain, Vaishnav,
03:53all these religions have lived here.
03:55The rule of the Solanki dynasty has been here.
03:57Like how the seven powers came out when there was an attack again and again.
04:01So all this has been shown here.
04:03The music of Tanavarini which was played here is also here.
04:07There are two projectors about which
04:09a lot of history of Vadnagar is known here.
04:11Like how Modi ji spent his childhood,
04:13all this is told here.
04:15So in this way, Vadnagar is not only the birthplace of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,
04:20but it is also such an important city
04:23whose ancient temples and historical artifacts
04:26leave an indelible mark on tourists who are interested in history and culture.
