Lothal Location in Gujarat

Lothal is an important archaeological site of the Indus Valley Civilization located in Gujarat, India. The ancient settlement is situated near the village of Saragwala in the Ahmedabad district region of Gujarat.

Its geographical position gave ancient Lothal access to waterways connected with the Gulf of Khambhat, helping it develop into an important centre of craft production and long-distance trade.

Today, Lothal is gaining renewed importance because of the archaeological site, the National Maritime Heritage Complex and wider development in the Ahmedabad–Dholera region.
