The Mani Bhavan was the place where once upon a time Gandhi used to spend his days in Mumbai in the course of the Independence struggle. The building was owned by one of Gandhi’s friends named Shri Revashankar Jhaveri.
This building has witnessed more than a few freedom struggle movements. Satyagraha was one of them. As the building was closely associated with Mahatma Gandhi, it was dedicated as a memorial of Gandhi in the year 1955. It is also the same place where Gandhi was arrested on 4 January in the year 1932. This incident even makes this place more interesting for tourists visiting Mumbai.
If you are someone who has a keen interest in knowing about the freedom struggle of India, then this place will surely be an encyclopedia of information. You can learn about various freedom fighting movements and also about the key personalities associated with them. Many pictorial and documented evidences are displayed in the Sangrahalaya, which are not available anywhere else.
