Mahatma Gandhi Museum, Rajkot Gujarat | PART-1 |

The Mahatma Gandhi Museum Rajkot or simply MGM Rajkot is a fitting tribute to Gandhiji. The history of Alfred School Rajkot and its transformation into Mahatma Gandhi School and now into the Mahatma Gandhi Museum is in itself a fascinating account. The visit to the museum takes you back in time for an immersive experience of the life story of Mahatma Gandhi. At the end of the tour de force which the museum undoubtedly is, one is sure to come out feeling closer to the life and values of the Mahatma.
After being bowled over by the colors and thrills of the International Kite Festival in Ahmedabad it was time to head towards Saurashtra for exploring some of the wonders of Gujarat. On the anvil were a visit to the Mahatma Gandhi Museum Rajkot, a rendezvous with lions at Sasan Gir, exploring the historic town of Junagadh, and a visit to the iconic temple of Somnath.
“This is the Aji river”, exclaimed our guide, Anantbhai as we crossed a bridge into the city of Rajkot. The Aji river divides the city of Rajkot and is considered the lifeline of the city as it is its main source of water.
It was almost dusk when we entered Rajkot. Our destination was the old school where Mahatma Gandhi studied. The strains of the soul-stirring, “Rajya Mane Kasumbi no rang”, emanating from the stereo player in our bust set the tone for our visit. The poet who wrote this song was none other than Jhaverchand Meghani, who was conferred the title of, “Rashtriya Shayar,” or “National Poet”, by none other than Mahatma Gandhi himself.
Mahatma Gandhi Museum, Rajkot was previously known as Mohandas Gandhi Vidhyalaya, Alfred High School and Kathiawar High School established on 17th October 1853 with 36 students.
