Kaba Gandhi No Delo, Heritage museum in Rajkot, India.
Kaba Gandhi No Delo is a two-story residence in Rajkot organized around a central courtyard with nine rooms and a kitchen, featuring a large entrance gate and a traditional hand pump. The structure reflects the layout of a prosperous household from that era with functional spaces for family life and domestic work.
The house served as Gandhi's family home from 1881 to 1915 while his father held the position of Diwan of Rajkot State. This period shaped his early childhood and family background before he later became a prominent figure.
The residence is named after Gandhi's father Karamchand, called Kaba in Gujarati, and the spaces reflect how his household functioned during his father's time as a state official. Visitors can observe everyday objects and family items that reveal the domestic world where the future leader spent his formative years.
The museum is located on Ghee Kanta Road and opens daily for visitors interested in learning about Gandhi's early years. Guided tours help visitors navigate the different rooms and understand the family life that took place within these walls.
The museum preserves personal belongings and memorabilia showing how Gandhi lived as a child in this house before his most famous years lay ahead. These objects offer a rare look at the everyday life of a man who would later shape history.
