It was clearly not your fault.  You are a new user and I should have
migrated these files to the regular categories.  I am now removing
[[Category:Ahmedabad 1]] and replacing with it [[Category:Ahmedabad]]
and [[Category:Wikipedia takes Ahmedabad 1]].  All help is welcome,
these two categories are a must, you can add further categories if
they already exist or if there is a justifiable reason to create a new
one you can create those and add the cat to these files.  I'm no
expert on Commons categorization, but there are a bunch of helpful
power users available on #wikipedia-en and #wikimedia-commons who can
help you out with that.

We decided to go with [[Category:Ahmedabad 1]] instead of
[[Category:Wikipedia takes Ahmedabad 1]] because we assumed that would
make it easier for the users to add these categories easily.

Indeed.  A few good images made it to the articles, while a couple of
images inspired creation of articles around important monuments.  See
[[Hutheesing Jain Temple]] (and thanks Srikeit for that).

Yes, indeed.
