Anand Bhavan
आनन्द भवन
The Nehru family home and one of the headquarters of India's independence movement, preserving the rooms where Nehru and Indira Gandhi lived and worked.
Anand Bhavan was built by Motilal Nehru in 1930 as a two-story colonial-style residence with colorful columns and gardens. During the independence movement, Gandhi stayed here several times, and the Indian National Congress held meetings here. Indira Gandhi grew up here and held her wedding here. In 1970 Indira donated the house, which was converted into a memorial museum. Visitors can look through glass at Nehru's study and bedroom and the room where Gandhi stayed, and there is a photo exhibition downstairs. Admission to the upstairs viewing area is about 70 rupees, and the museum is closed on Mondays. The neighboring Swaraj Bhawan and Jawahar Planetarium can be visited together with it.
