| Located on
leafy Laburnum Road, a quiet lane named after its shady
trees, Mani Bhavan is the old Mumbai residence of Mahatma
Gandhi. It's a pretty, two-storied structure that now
houses a reference library with over 2000 books, a photo
exhibition of the Mahatma's life, and well preserved
memorabilia, including an old charkha or spinning wheel
that Gandhiji used to use. Today, its only a symbolic
exhibit that lies unused, but many old Gandhians still
visit the place to pay homage to their hero and
demonstrate the noble art of spinning your own yarn! |
