For 17 years, Mani Bhavan was Gandhi's Bombay home and nerve centre of the freedom movement.
Mani Bhavan, where Mahatma Gandhi stayed during his visits to Mumbai, has many stories to tell. The quaint building in Gamdevi, south Mumbai, had originally belonged to Gandhi's friend Revashankar Jagjeevan Jhaveri. From Mani Bhavan, Gandhi launched a number of crucial movements during the struggle for independence that later changed the course of India's history. Usha Thakker, the director of Mani Bhavan, escorted United States President Barack Obama.
