Sabarmati Ashram also known as Gandhi Ashram, Harijan Ashram, or Satyagraha Ashram is located in the Ahmedabad suburb of Sabarmati and on the western banks of the Sabarmati River. The ashram now has a museum, Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalay. In 1963, the museum building was erected (designed by architect Charles Correa), and memorial activities were then started here. Established in 1915, Sabarmati ashram was the scene of many events of the Indian independence movement. It was from there that Gandhi started the Dandi March in 1930. One of the residences of Gandhi, the ashram was amongst the first satyagraha ashrams he set up. It was believed that this was the ancient ashram site of Dadhichi Rishi who had donated his bones for a righteous war.
