Kaba Gandhi No Delo, Heritage museum in Rajkot, India.
Description
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.
History
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.

Visitors can observe everyday objects and family items that reveal the domestic world where the future leader spent his formative years.
