About Riverfront

HISTORY. CULTURE. GARDENS.

Asmavati Riverfront is like a riveting, romantic tale of two cultures, two centuries… even two
different worlds. A destination marked by sharp contrasts. Town and Gardens. Past and
Present. Commerce and Culture. Beauty and Brains. Gritty and Gorgeous. Historic and Hip. It
is these contrasts that make each experience more vibrant, each moment more distinct, and
each sight more authentic and beautiful.

Asmavati Riverfront is a waterfront being developed along the banks of Asmavati river in
Porbandar, India. The major objectives of project are environment improvement, social
infrastructure and sustainable development.
