There were only four (all single screen) Cinemas: Ambar, Vaishali, Himmat (now turn into shopping complex) and Neelam. When StartCity multi-screen multiplex came into arena, these had to giveup in popularity. Himat is already renovated into a well-deserved form of a shopping complex. Neelam is still doing a considerable business due to its prime location, where as Ambar and Vaishali with a lost prestige, are still running regularly, but there have been rumours about the Ambar Cinema that it is going to follow the bright Fate of Himat Cinema since years, nothing happens. StarCity still shines bright until it faces competition from any other multiplex.

Himatnagar is also home to many Hindu sects and temples including Shri PranNath Ji Mandir, Jain, Sai Temple, Jalaram Temple,Shiv Temple, Mahakali Temple, Harshhidhmata Temple, Jai Swaminaryan temple, Ganpathi Mandir, Gayatri Mandir, Panchand Mahadev.

  • I like himmatnagar very much I born hear & I study in NEW ENGLISH MEDIUM SCHOOL
  • I think Himmatnagar is a very peaceful place to live in.The people are very co-operative and concerned about their neighbours.You will find people of various religions living here, though not in harmony as it used to be prior to the riots of 2002. If you are fond of eatables and clothes, then Himmatnagar is the place to be. Hmt. is well known for the ceramic industries.and it also has a multiplex. If you want to learn good english then Mrs Maureen Madam and Richard Bahulayan are the best teachers to help you get a grip and good command on the English language.In fact Mrs. Maureen Madam was also honoured by the Governor of Gujarat for her contribution to education in S.K. District.

  • Love this Town. I grew up in Himmatnagar and has lot of beautiful memories connected with this town. Studied in Societynagar School and later in Himmat High School, also finished my B.Com here. My parents and other family still lives there and also bunch of friends so I try to visit every other year. I wish that I could come every year but it's difficult since I currently live in US. I still miss those streets where I played cricket with bunch of friends and broke the glass windows. There are lot of other things that I miss and lot of other things I would like to write about but I guess this is enough for now. See you guys there in my next trip, that will be sometime in 2009.
