Kaba Gandhi No Delo

Gujarat & Diu


This is the house where Gandhi lived from the age of six (while his father was diwan of Rajkot), and it features many photos of the family and lots of interesting information on Gandhi's life. The mahatma’s passion for the hand loom is preserved in the form of a small weaving school.
