Brief History

Beautiful home Kaba Gandhi No Delo provides a fascinating look into Mahatma Gandhi's formative years. With arched entrances and courtyards, the house was constructed in the Saurashtrian architectural style. Numerous authentic Gandhian artifacts, including his personal things, photographs, and artifacts, may be found inside the stunning structure. Pictorial displays of the Mahatma's life are shown throughout the residence, which are accompanied by bilingual captions in Hindi and Gujarati.

The pictures that hang in the house's hallways provide a glimpse into Mahatma Gandhi's journey. In the shape of a small weaving school, the Mahatma's love of the handloom has been perpetuated. The Non-Governmental Organization currently oversees Kaba Gandhi No Delo and offers young girls on-site sewing and embroidery classes. For ardent history buffs and Gandhi supporters, the location is a must-see.

History: Kaba Gandhi no Delo translates literally to "Kaba Gandhi's Residence." This was Gandhiji’s father, Karamchand Gandhi's historical abode, when it was named Diwan of Rajkot State and lived in what is now known as Kaba Gandhi no Delo, located right off the main Gheekantha Road. Mahatma Gandhi lived here from 1881 to 1887 AD.
