GANDHI CIRCUIT TOUR

Mahatama Gandhi was born in porbandar in 1869 AD. Lacs of Indian tourists visit the house of the Mahatama and Kasturba, his wife. Kirti Mandir has a Gandhian library and a prayer hall. Mahatma Gandhi was studied at M.K. Gandhi Vidyalaya, formerly known as Alfred High School, located at Rajkot. The famous incident of copying the word 'Kettle' occurred here.

On a quiet stretch of the river Sabarmati, 7 kms north of the city, Mahatma Gandhi set up a
simple retreat in 1915. This was his first Satyagraha Ashram and for many it was the nerve
centre of India's freedom movement. Many national and international leaders visited Gandhiji at the ashram, and it was whilst living here that Mohandas Gandhi came to be known as Mahatma Gandhi.

Gandhiji selected this place on the bank of the river Sabarmati very close to the Saint Dadheechi’s temple as well as from Jail and a crematorium. Gandhiji used to comment, "This is the right place for our activities to carry on the search for Truth and develop Fearlessness for on one side are the iron bolts of the foreigners and on the other, thunderbolts of mother nature." After building a few essential structures, activities in ashram stated full fledged in 1917.

Hridaya Kunj, the cottage where Gandhiji lived is preserved as it was in the Mahatma's lifetime. The Gandhi Ashram has a memorial centre, library and a sound and light spectacle to offer its visitors.
