The Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad was Mahatma Gandhi's home and headquarters for some of the most pivotal years of India's independence struggle (1917–1930), and it remains a deeply moving place of pilgrimage. Set peacefully on the bank of the Sabarmati River, the simple, whitewashed ashram preserves Gandhi's spartan living quarters (Hriday Kunj) exactly as he left them, his spinning wheel, writing desk, and few possessions, alongside an excellent museum of photographs, letters, and documents tracing his life and philosophy of non-violence.
It was from here that Gandhi set out on the famous 1930 Salt March. The atmosphere is serene and reflective, and entry is free. It's an essential stop for understanding Gandhi and modern India, and a calming counterpoint to Ahmedabad's bustle.

Un peu d'histoire
Gandhi established the Sabarmati Ashram in 1917 as a base for his movement and experiments in communal living, self-reliance, and non-violent resistance. He lived here until 1930, when he left on the Salt March, vowing not to return until India was independent. It's now a national monument and museum.
