Surat's diamond factories are famous.
The term "કારખાનું" (karkhanu) originates from the Persian word 'کارخانه' (kārkhāneh), which means 'factory.' It has been integrated into Gujarati language reflecting the industrial growth during the British era.
This word is used in formal discussions related to manufacturing and industry and is mainly found in written reports or business statements. It is widely understood across different Gujarati-speaking regions.
