Anand Bhavan

TIME : 2016/2/17 12:55:44

This picturesque two-storey building is a shrine to the Nehru family, which has produced five generations of leading politicians from Motilal Nehru to the latest political figure, Rahul Gandhi. This stately home is where Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and others successfully planned the overthrow of the British Raj. It is full of books, personal effects and photos from those stirring times. Indira Gandhi was married here in 1942.

The run-down Swaraj Bhavan next door is where former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was born.
