Gandhiji’s spectacles, watches, pens, sandals, utensils, books, diaries and the stick he carried during the Dandi March are also displayed in the museum. These articles brought history alive in front of our eyes.

There is a Martyrdom Gallery at the museum where Gandhiji’s urn, blood-stained shawl, dhoti, one of the bullets which killed him and his pocket watch, which was with him during the last moments of his life, are displayed.

Then we visited the Hriday Kunj. This is the place where Gandhiji stayed after returning from South Africa. The visit made us aware of Gandhiji’s life, his family and his struggles.
