सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि

Rivers are worshipped as goddesses. The Narmada is considered so holy that just seeing it is said to cleanse sins. Her 'depth' is a sign of her immense power. In villages, the 'Undi Nadi' is a place of both utility (washing, bathing) and folklore. Many stories involve spirits or treasures at the bottom of deep rivers. Poets like Narmad and Dalpatram often used the river as a metaphor for the state of Gujarat—sometimes deep and calm, sometimes turbulent. With the Sabarmati Riverfront project, 'Undi Nadi' has become a topic of urban planning and safety in cities like Ahmedabad.
