India, May 1 -- Gujarat Day, also known as Gujarat Sthapana Diwas, is celebrated every year on May 1 to mark the formation of the state in 1960. Before becoming a separate state, Gujarat was part of the larger Bombay State, which also included present-day Maharashtra.

The division took place under the Bombay Reorganisation Act 1960, which split the region into two states based on language and cultural identity. This day reflects Gujarat's rich heritage, steady development, and its journey as one of India's most progressive states. Often called the "Jewel of Western India," Gujarat has played a major role in the country's economic and cultural growth.
