Situated in the north of Ahmedabad center, Sabarmati Ashram in Gujarat was once home to Mahatma Gandhi and his wife Kasturba. The ashram is located in the stretch of Sabarmati River and surrounded by peace and tranquility. This is also the place where from where Gandhi began his Dandi March. Located between a prison and a cemetery, Gandhi believed that a Satyagrahi is likely to end his life either in prison or in a cemetery and this was the reason he chose this place to stay.
