Law Garden, street vendor with traditional Gujarat clothing

The Law Garden is a public park in Ahmedabad ( State of Gujarat , India ).

The park is named after the neighboring Gujarat Law Society (GLS), an educational institution founded in 1927. It is delimited by three streets and thus has a triangular floor plan with an area of ​​4.1 ha. It was originally an open, undeveloped area around which street vendors settled all around. A street market developed from this, mainly offering traditional Gujarat clothing embroidered with sequins and mirrors. With the increasing popularity of the resulting market, street food providers were added over time , which increased the tourist attractiveness.

From 1995 to 1997 the park was completely redesigned on behalf of the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC).
