Mani Bhavan with its many rooms and the historic terrace is a place where Gandhiji lived and conversed with his colleagues, moulded the nation of three hundred million people in the image of his cherished ideals of truth and non-violence and inspired his followers and devotees who went forth from here in the world as changed men and women charged with a sense of service and sacrifice. Mani Bhavan, once the residence of the Father of the Nation, is now a place of pilgrimage for the patriots and a source of inspiration for freedom and peace-loving men and women all over the world.
