Gandhiji – Ashram Museum

This was a detour on the way home. The home of the Gandhi family overlooking the Sabarmati River has turned into a museum. It’s full of history, artifacts, contemplation and tranquility. It is possible to look everywhere, in the guest houses and the bungalow, with the exception of Bapu’s room itself. There are details and photographs of his life from childhood to assassination. We went to the bridge on which the people stood to watch Gandhi leave to walk barefoot the 240 miles to Dandi on the salt march.
All in all, a cracking day
