Walk through Gandhi’s ancestral home and birthplace

At the far end of a courtyard, you’ll find the ancestral house where young Gandhi was born and spent his early years. This three-story structure, originally built by Gandhi’s grandfather, has been preserved with great care. For many visitors, reaching the very room where he was born is a deeply moving experience, offering a tangible connection to Gandhi’s early life. This simple yet historically rich space is filled with memories and anecdotes of the past, providing a window into the modest beginnings of a leader who would go on to shape the future of our nation.

Discover Gandhi’s life journey through artefacts and exhibits

You will find a remarkable collection of artefacts and photos at Kirti Mandir that trace Gandhi’s journey from his birth to his global impact as the leader of India’s independence movement. It houses a photo exhibit that details key moments of Gandhi’s life, bringing alive his values, relationships, and philosophy of simplicity, non-violence, and truth. Established in 1947 with the support of industrialist Nanjibhai Kalidas Mehta and completed in 1950 after Gandhi’s death, the museum will help you fathom the great respect and love Gandhi inspired across India.
