    AHMEDABAD: In poetry, love is in the air. But in history, it lies in monuments, cities and legends. According to legend, the main reason behind Ahmedabad coming into existence 600 years ago is a love story involving Ahmad Shah, the city's founder. The beauty the sultan fell for in Ahmedabad was Teja, the gorgeous daughter of Asha Bhil who lived in Ashawal, today's Astodia.
    Legend tells us that one 'darbari' of the sultan was first messemerised by this beauty. He used to come regularly to Ahmedabad from Patan to see Teja.
    One day, the sultan came to know about this routine. He called the 'darbari' to explain his absence. The 'darbari' praised the beauty of the girl sky high and told the sultan that the girl was suitable for a king. The sultan became curious and himself came to Ahmedabad to see Teja. It was love at first sight. The sultan went back to Patan and then moved towards Astodia with his army.
    The Bhils of Ashawal came and requested him not to attack such a small human habitation. They also agreed to give extortion money. Shah asked for a huge amount which Asha Bhil could never have raised. Shah then gave him another option - his daughter Teja's hand in marriage. Asha didn't want to agree to this initially and it was only on his wife's advice that he finally relented.
    This is how Teja became queen of Ahmad Shah. After marriage, they went back to Patan. Later, on Teja's insistence because she wanted to remain close to her parents' home, the sultan again came to Ahmedabad. Camping on the banks of Sabarmati, he saw a hare chasing a dog. Impressed by this act of bravery, the Sultan, who had been looking for a place to build his new capital, decided to locate it in what was then a forested area close to the river bank.
    ‌He called it Ahmedabad. The incident is popularly described in a one liner: "Jab kutte pe sassa aaya, tab Badshah ne shaher basaya". When the hare chased the dog, the emperor built the city. But don't forget the love story behind this tale and also the heroine, Teja, who pulled a capital from Patan to Ahmedabad.
