Simply the place where bapu lived in simplicity. In tribute to Gandhi, Nehru said: “Wherever he trod became hallowed land, wherever he sat became a temple.” True, indeed, that wherever Gandhi stopped has become a place of pilgrimage and wherever he roamed has become a sanctified place. The Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad, so named after the holy river Sabarmati, situated on the river’s banks is such an example. This site no longer functions as a working ashram but as a museum and an institution whose aim is to preserve and propagate the legacy of the Mahatma. Come visit Gujarat and visit this historical place.
