Mani Bhavan - |
 Mani
Bhavan, the building where Mahatama Gandhi stayed during his frequent
visits to Bombay has been turned into a museum. It was the home of a
diamond merchent and Indian National Congress member Revashankar
Jhaveri.
Gandhi's simple room remains untouched and contains his charkha
(spinning wheel) and charpoy (rope bed). It is said that this is where
the Mahatama first learnt how to use the spinning wheel. There is a
library of Gandhian literature and a cabinet marked 'books read by
Gandhi'. The rest of the museum is devoted to photographic exhibits,
framed letters and 3-D tableaux of key events in Gandhi's life. |
