Sabarmati Ashram: Discovering the Soul of India

Sabarmati Ashram History

Later on 17 June 1917, the ashram was shifted to a barren land on the banks of the Sabarmati River, which is called the Sabarmati Ashram and also known as Harijan Ashram. 

On 12 March 1930, Gandhiji launched a salt march from Sabarmati Ashram with 78 companions and took a vow that he wouldn’t return to the ashram until India won Independence. Although India became independent on 15 August 1947, Gandhiji never came back to Sabarmati Ashram as he was assassinated in January 1948.
