Hriday Kunj

Hriday Kunj

This was Gandhiji’s home in the Ashram. Kakasaheb Kalelkar named it Hriday Kunj. Gandhiji and Kasturba lived here from 1918 to 1930. Here he met national and international personalities. He left the Ashram in 1930 with a vow- “not to return to this Ashram till India became independent”. Inside there are 6 rooms: Gandhiji’s; Kasturba’s; Guest Room, Kitchen, Store room and Secretariat. There are also replicas and some originals, including Gandhiji’s Charkha and Writing Desks.
