The ashram is ensconced in a peaceful aura, partially due to the reverence that visitors show and possibly due to a unique energy that the place actually has. This is the place where Gandhi started the Satyagraha Movement. You will find that the complex dotted with people meditating, walking in silence or transfixed to the gallery, which showcases Gandhi’s many photographs and memorabilia. The finest part for a traveler is to select a spinning machine memento from the curio shop and also send a postcard from the in-house postbox.
