About Sabarmati Ashram

Sabarmati Ashram, situated on the banks of the Sabarmati river, is a site of historical and cultural significance in India. It was one of the residences of Mahatma Gandhi, the leader of the Indian independence movement. Established in 1917, the ashram became a platform for numerous activities that played a key role in India's struggle for freedom. Visitors can experience the simplicity of Gandhi's living quarters and explore the museum, which houses an extensive collection of his personal letters, photographs, and other memorabilia. The ashram's tranquil setting, with its lush greenery and calm river backdrop, provides a contemplative escape from the hustle of city life. Sabarmati Ashram also serves as a testament to Gandhi's philosophy of Sarvodaya, or welfare for all, and Satyagraha, the principle of non-violent resistance. Today, the ashram hosts various activities promoting Gandhian principles and is a must-visit for those interested in India's socio-political history.

The abode of a great Saint.
The Gandhi Ashram was the abode of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi popularly known as Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhiji was a great leader who used non violence as a tool to force British to Quit India. The Ashram is adjacent to the Sabarmati river which looks lovely due to the Lake front developed there and because it now has water in abundance even in summers as it has been linked with Narmadaji. The Mahatma Gandhi's room can only be seen through a meshed door from outside. The Kasturba Gandhi's room, the Visitor room, The Kitchen and a hutment where Vinoba Bhaveji stayed and at times Mira Ben all can be seen from inside there. The dwellings have one thing in common - that all are so modest, humble. There is a Gandhi literature and Souvenier shop as well as a Khadi vastralay shop in the Ashram.

surreal and peaceful experience
My visit to Gandhi Ashram in Ahmedabad was a surreal and peaceful experience, making it a must-visit for anyone interested in architecture. The serene ambiance and historical significance of the ashram create a unique atmosphere that captivates visitors. The architecture, infused with a sense of simplicity and purpose, reflects the principles of Mahatma Gandhi. It's not just a place to learn about history but also an opportunity to immerse oneself in the tranquil surroundings and appreciate the architectural beauty that stands as a testament to Gandhi's legacy.

A tranquil place to remember Gandhi
Great tranquility,soul solacing,silent place facing sabarmati river in Ahmedabad. Gandhi used to grace this place with his discourses and spin Charkha,an indigenous device to make cotton threads for weaving. All related articles and related pictures are well displayed in this lovely place.
