Mani Bhavan
Houses / Mansions, Malabar Hill
Fodor's Review:
This charming, three-story Gujarati house, painted brown and yellow and ensconced in a quiet, tree-shaded Parsi neighborhood on Malabar Hill, was the home of Mahatma Gandhi from 1917 to 1934. Now overseen and maintained by the Gandhi Institute, it houses a library and a small museum on Gandhi's life and work. Gandhi's simple belongings are displayed in his room, including his original copies of the Bible, the Koran, and the Bhagavad Gita (a famous discourse in the ancient Indian epic, the Mahabharata); other displays include colorful dioramas and some important and moving letters from the fight for Indian independence.
