Aga Khan Palace
आगा खान पॅलेस
Completed in 1892 in an Italianate style with arcaded galleries, the palace is where Gandhi was held under house arrest from 1942 to 1944. His wife Kasturba and his secretary died here and were buried in its grounds.
The palace was funded by Aga Khan III, and its white arcaded building and broad lawns are very photogenic. During the Quit India Movement of 1942, Gandhi and his wife were placed under house arrest here by the British. It is now the Gandhi National Memorial, displaying Gandhi’s rooms, manuscripts and personal belongings. The grounds contain Kasturba’s tomb and some of Gandhi’s ashes. The site is managed by the Archaeological Survey of India, with different ticket prices for Indian citizens and foreign visitors, and the shaded surroundings are good for a stroll.
