Glimpses of Mahatma Gandhi in Patna museum

From the archive record

Situated near the North-Western corner of Gandhi Maidan, and at a throw away distance from Golghar, Gandhi Sangrahalaya is an important landmark which highlights the role of Gandhiji in Bihar during the Independence movement. The Sangrahalaya was formally established in 1967 in the present location, some 8 year after the formation of Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya Samiti. The Sangrahalaya was a unit of the Central Gandhi Sangrahalaya Samiti till 1971 , when the decision was taken to make the existing 5 Sangrahalaya as autonomous one. Thus , since 1971, Patna Gandhi Sangrahalaya is an autonomous body. Set up in a very peaceful environment, it provides a glimpse of life of Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the nation. His life has been beautifully depicted in the big photographs.All the major eve
