Bajajwadi
It is the residence of the late Shri Jamnalal Bajaj who played the host to all the national leaders during the freedom struggle, more specially, at the time of the Congress Working Committee meetings at Wardha. In the Guest House attached to Bajajwadi, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, Sarojini Nayadu, Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan, Dr. Subhash Chandra Bose used to stay during their visits to Wardha for meeting Gandhiji. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru generally stayed in the main Bajajwadi bungalow.
During the pre-Independence period. Lunches and dinners were arranged in the back side open space of the main building. All the national leaders used to take food in the Indian style, sitting on the floor.

The meeting place for Gandhian 'revolutionaries'. The birthplace of ideas that changed India's destiny. Bajajwadi at Wardha was regarded as the national guest house during the freedom movement. Even today, Bajajwadi reverberates with an aura reminiscent of that era. Read more on Bajajwadi on the Jamnalal Bajaj Foundation website.
