Gandhi Smriti, Bhavnagar Overview

Right in the centre of Bhavnagar city of Gujarat stands the Gandhi Smriti, which commemorates the life and service of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Constructed in 1955 and attached to a tower clock, Gandhi Smriti is one of the most frequented tourist spots in the city.

Barton museum is found on the ground floor of Gandhi Smriti, where you can find a broad range of archaeological remains of the surrounding areas. On the first floor, there rare photographs of Gandhi which take you back during the freedom movement of India, where Gandhi stood invincible. This is the Gandhi museum. The library here holds a vast collection of books and memorabilia that Gandhi used.

Artefacts Collection

Gandhi Smriti is a paradise for people who love collecting artefacts from various parts of the world. It offers religious carvings and fascinating betel cutters which represent the rustic culture of the Saurashtra region of Gujarat. There is also a Khadi Gramodyog Bhandar in the monument itself, whereby one gets mesmerised just by having a view at the range of traditional handicraft items and local embroidery.
