Sabarmati Ashram

Sabarmati Ashram is one of the most peaceful and important places in Ahmedabad. It was the home of Mahatma Gandhi from 1917 to 1930, during the early years of India’s independence movement. Gandhi Ji believed in truth, non-violence, and simple living, and he practiced these values every single day in this ashram. This is also where he started the Dandi Salt March to protest against unfair British taxes, which became a turning point in India’s fight for freedom.

The ashram is located beside the calm Sabarmati River, making the surroundings very relaxing. Visitors can take a quiet walk along the river and feel a sense of peace. Inside the ashram, there is a museum that displays Gandhi Ji’s charkha (spinning wheel), handwritten letters, photographs, books, and personal items. These exhibits tell the story of his life and the powerful message he spread around the world.

There are also buildings where Gandhi Ji lived and worked, including Hriday Kunj, where visitors can see his simple room. The ashram encourages people to learn about honesty, respect, and how one person can bring big changes with strong values.

People from India and many other countries visit Sabarmati Ashram to connect with history and understand the ideas that shaped modern India. It is a place that inspires visitors to think about peace and unity in their own lives.
