When we compare the travel costs of actual travelers between Gujarat and Delhi, we can see that Gujarat is more expensive. And not only is Delhi much less expensive, but it is actually a significantly cheaper destination. So, traveling to Delhi would let you spend less money overall. Or, you could decide to spend more money in Delhi and be able to afford a more luxurious travel style by staying in nicer hotels, eating at more expensive restaurants, taking tours, and experiencing more activities. The same level of travel in Gujarat would naturally cost you much more money, so you would probably want to keep your budget a little tighter in Gujarat than you might in Delhi.
