Located on leafy Laburnum Road,
a quiet lane named after its shady trees, Mani Bhavan is the old Mumbai
residence of Mahatma Gandhi. It's a pretty, two-storied structure that
now houses a reference library with over 2000 books, a photo exhibition
of the Mahatma's life, and well preserved memorabilia, including an old
charkha or spinning wheel that Gandhiji used to use. Today, its only a
symbolic exhibit that lies unused, but many old Gandhians still visit
the place to pay homage to their hero and demonstrate the noble art of
spinning your own yarn!
