“Sabarmati Ashram was Mahatma Gandhi's residence upon his return from South Africa. The Ashram was situated in the Sabarmati suburb of Ahmedabad. The Ashram was operated by a public trust established in 1951, the Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya, located within the Ashram. Initially established in 1917 on open land along the Sabarmati River banks, the Ashram now hosts an array of items such as books, manuscripts, photos of Gandhi alongside Kasturba and fellow associates, life-sized oil paintings, and personal relics like his writing desk and spinning wheel. This space was the hub for Gandhi's key independence activities and societal enlightenment. Subsequently, the Ashram evolved into a museum known as Sabarmati Ashram, which is dedicated primarily to preserving Mahatma Gandhi's belongings. The surroundings, adorned with lush greenery, reflect the natural beauty of India and its rich cultural heritage. The Ashram remains actively engaged in various endeavours to conserve Gandhi's history and the struggle for freedom. It houses a collection of his correspondence, photographs, life-sized oil paintings, and tangible relics, including his writing desk and spinning wheel.
