The ancient city of "VASUDHANAGARI", now known as VASAD, situated on the banks of holy river mahisagar, is the gateway to Charotar. Due to favourable conditions, Vasad always kept in pace for progress.  For people dwelling in urban areas as well as students, Vasad has become a favourite picnic spot. Vasad is the junction between Bombay and Ahmedabad on western railway. There are two railway bridges along with two road bridges which join"VAKAD" area to "CHAROTAR". Both of these are situated in Vasad.

Owing to many divine temples of Gods and Goddesses, it has become a place of pilgrimage as well as tourist attraction. On weekends, especially on Sunday, Mahisagar river is flooded with devotees coming from places to have the mesmerizing feel of divine bath.  The name of Vasad has been synonymous with Toor dal and good quality tobacco.   One in every three house in India uses toor dal from Vasad.  Thus one can say that Vasad resides in every nook and corner of India.  Vasad's tobacco delights not only the citizens of India, but also gives the pleasure to foreigners.
