The Gaekwad Haveli is a part of the walled city of Ahmedabad. It is located in the south western part of the old city, and the Sabarmati river runs along its western side. It has a rich layering of history, which is, even today, evident in the architecture we see within and around the Haveli. Archival information also shows that it is a potentially high archaeological region, creating scope for the people of Ahmedabad to engage with their diverse heritage. This place was built in 1738. After capturing the Baroda state in 1734 from the badi Nawab, Damjirao Gaekwad went on to expand the boundaries of his state. In a period of early 18th century, the new Mughal viceroy of Gujarat momin khan rattled out ratan singh [who ties with previous viceroy while helping him to kill Damijirao's father] from the state and capture the Ahmedabad. The joint rule was established of Marathas and Mughal, which eventually collapsed, and then gaekwads with the help of marathas took over the control for 5-6 years, then recaputre by Mughals only to surrender thereafter. During the control, the Damjirao rebuilt the old Haveli to Citadel, which had conspired one large wall that enclosed the large area, which was divided into three parts. Currently, the haveliis HQ of the Crime Branch from the year 1968 in whichtge facade was restored in the year 2014 and the watch tower was converted to the police musem.

As per my knowledge, it was a royal living area on the bank of Sabarmati river. Now converted in to police living quarters.

Gaekwad Haweli in Ahmedabad was built in the 17th century. It was the seat of Gaekwad during the Maratha rule. Later it was used by the British as barracks. Now it is used by the police. The walls of the haveli are still intact and a road runs parallel to it. Certain parts of the haveli are inhabited, as the locals have made it their home. There is no entry fee nor timings to enter the fort.

The Gaekwad Haveli was built in 1738 under joint rule of Mughal subedar Momin Khan and Peshwas. In 1753 the armies of Gaekwads and Peshwas defeated Mughals and started ruling the city. It was recaptured by Momin Khan but after the blockade of a year he surrendered the city. Later Peshwas agreed to give the city to Gaekwads. The British East India Company took the control of the city in 1817 and the haveli was used as barracks The haveli was later turned into the police crime branch headquarters of Ahmedabad in 1969. During the time of the gaekwads Aba Shelukar who was appointed as the subedar was very cunning and captured the haveli.Then the geakwards sent their army and recaptured the haveli and banished him in pune.From this the Quote in Gujarati "Haath Ma Dando, Bagal Ma Moi, Haveli Leta Gujarat Khoi" Meaning Grabing a stick in hand and a moi(a weapon ) in the armpit, trying to take the Haveli, he...

ગાયકવાડ હવેલી 1738 માં સાબરમતી નદીના કાંઠે બનાવવામાં આવી હતી જ્યારે શહેર મુઘલ સુબેદાર મોમિન ખાન અને પેશ્વાઓના સંયુક્ત શાસન હેઠળ હતું. 1753 માં, દામાજી ગાયકવાડ અને પેશ્વા રઘુનાથ રાવની સંયુક્ત સેનાએ મુઘલોને હરાવ્યા અને શહેર પર સંયુક્ત રીતે શાસન કરવાનું શરૂ કર્યું. 1756 માં મોમિન ખાને તે ફરીથી કબજે કર્યું હતું પરંતુ જાન્યુઆરી 1757 થી ફેબ્રુઆરી 1758 સુધીના એક વર્ષના નાકાબંધી પછી, તેણે શહેરને આત્મસમર્પણ કર્યું. શહેરની આવક પેશ્વા અને ગાયકવાડ વચ્ચે સમાન રીતે વહેંચાયેલી હતી પરંતુ શહેરના અગિયાર દરવાજાઓનું નિયંત્રણ પેશ્વા હેઠળ હતું. ગાયકવાડના નિયંત્રણ હેઠળનો એકમાત્ર દરવાજો જમાલપુર દરવાજો હતો. આ દરવાજા પાસેની હવેલી દામાજી ગાયકવાડના નિયંત્રણમાં આવી ગઈ હતી. તેણે હવેલી સુધારી તેને રાજગઢ બનાવ્યો. ભારે દરવાજાઓ સાથે અનિયમિત રીતે બાંધવામાં આવેલી દિવાલ, ત્રણ ભાગોમાં વિભાજિત વિશાળ વિસ્તારને ઘેરી લે છે, જે ઉત્તરમાં મૂળ રીતે પર્શિયન વ્હીલ દ્વારા પાણીયુક્ત બગીચો હતો; કેન્દ્ર અને આંતરિક ભાગ, શહેરની દિવાલ પર આરામ કરે છે, તે રાજગઢ હતો; કેસોબા પંડિત દ્વારા 1814માં દક્ષિણનો ભાગ ઉમેરવામાં આવ્યો હતો. બાજીરાવ II દ્વારા મહેસૂલ વ્યવસ્થાપન માટે શહેરના પેશ્વા નિયંત્રિત વિસ્તારોના સરસુબા તરીકે આબા શેલુકરની નિમણૂક કરવામાં આવી હતી. તેણે પૈસા પડાવવા માટે નાગરિકો પર અત્યાચાર કર્યો અને કુખ્યાત બન્યો. તેણે પોતાની રીતે શહેરને નિયંત્રિત કરવાનો પ્રયાસ કર્યો અને ગાયકવાડ હવેલી પર કબજો કર્યો. ગાયકવાડે સૈન્યને શહેરમાં મોકલ્યું જેણે ભદ્રનો કિલ્લો કબજે કર્યો અને પેશવાઓએ 1799માં તેમની અટકાયત કરી અને તેમને પુણે પાછા મોકલવામાં આવ્યા અને તેમને સાત વર્ષની જેલ થઈ. ગુજરાતી ભાષામાં હાથ મા દંડો, બગલ મા મોઈ, હવેલી લેતા ગુજરાત ખોઈ આ ઘટના પર આધારિત છે. શહેરમાં સેલુકરોના અત્યાચારો અને તેમના કાર્યો વિશેનો ગરબા 'ફાર્બસ ગુજરાતી સભા' સંસ્થા પાસે ગુજરાતી હસ્તપ્રતમાં સચવાયેલો છે.

પાછળથી પેશવાઓએ ગાયકવાડને શહેર ભાડે આપવા સંમત થયા. બ્રિટિશ ઈસ્ટ ઈન્ડિયા કંપનીએ 1817માં શહેર પર કબજો જમાવ્યો અને હવેલીનો ઉપયોગ 1824 સુધી ગેરિસન માટે બેરેક તરીકે કરવામાં આવતો હતો. બાદમાં તે 1833માં આર્મીના ઉત્તરીય વિભાગ માટે શસ્ત્રાગારમાં ફેરવાઈ ગઈ હતી. વચ્ચે રેલવે ખુલ્યા બાદ અમદાવાદ અને બોમ્બે તેને 1863માં ઓર્ડનન્સ ડેપોમાં ઘટાડી દેવામાં આવ્યો હતો. હવેલીને બાદમાં 1969માં અમદાવાદના પોલીસ ક્રાઈમ બ્રાન્ચના હેડક્વાર્ટરમાં ફેરવવામાં...
