Mani Bhavan is a simple old-style, two storied house in Mumbai. The house belonged to Shri Revashankar Jhaveri, Mahatma Gandhi’s friend and host in Mumbai. Whenever he was in Mumbai between 1917 to 1934, Gandhi stayed here. It was from here that he initiated the Civil Disobedience movement. Mani Bhavan stood witness to the important movements of Indian freedom struggle. It is now converted into a museum and research centre. Unfortunately, it was going through renovation when I visited. Some exhibts were still open, and a picture of a letter Gandhi sent to Hitler in an attempt to prevent the war is below.
