Netaji Bhawan

Cheerful green wooden shutters lend character to Netaji Bhawan (netaji.org; adult/child ₹50/20), the ancestral home, turned museum, of Subhas Chandra Bose (Netaji). It was from here, in 1941, that Netaji escaped British-imposed house arrest to Germany, before fighting alongside the Japanese against British forces during WWII. Visitors are greeted by his not-inconspicuous Wanderer getaway car, before filing past Netaji's bed and his study, which is now painted in the Indian flag’s colors and preserved behind glass with a reverence befitting the importance of his fight for his country's independence.
