Mithakali is also a hub for offices and small stores being located at one end of the C.G. Road.
Mitahakli is today used to refer to a large traffic circle with a 6-road intersection:
one road leads to Law Garden, one to C.G.Road, one to the Navrangpura Bus Stand, one to the Mount Carmel railway crossing, one towards Mitahakali village and one to Ashram Road through the Mercury underbridge.
Mithakali was once a village on the meter-gauge railway line. It was swallowed up by Ahmedabad city in its westward growth during the 1970s. On this site [1] there is a map depicting the growth of Ahmedabad city. Though Mithakali isn't mentioned, it is in the light-blue zone shown as growing from 1970 to 1989. It is not far from Gandhigram station, which is shown.
