Mahatma Gandhi's Mumbai Home

Mahatma Gandhi’s Mumbai Home
Mani Bhavan - Glimpses of Mahatma
Late Indira Gandhi's words about Mahatma Gandhi, "More than his words, his life was the message", came alive as we accompanied Shareen Robin along the precincts of this tiny, history-ridden two-storied structure on Laburnum Road. Nestling in the quiet by-lanes of Gamdevi, Mani Bhavan brings the 'Mahatma'—Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi—that much closer to us. This four-storey bungalow served as Gandhi's home from 1917 to 1934 and has since been converted into a museum dedicated to the Father of the Nation, who led a nation of 350 million to freedom with his non-violence movement.
