Mahatma
Gandhi
was
born
in
Porbandar,
a
coastal
town
in
the
state
of
Gujarat,
India
on
October
2,
1869.
His
birthplace
is
now
a
museum
called
the
Kirti
Mandir,
which
is
dedicated
to
his
life
and
work.
The
museum
houses
a
collection
of
Gandhi's
personal
belongings,
including
his
charkha
(spinning
wheel),
his
dhoti
and
kurta
(traditional
Indian
clothing),
and
his
sandals.
It
also
has
a
library
with
books
and
articles
about
Gandhi
and
his
philosophy
of
nonviolent
resistance.
The
Kirti
Mandir
is
a
popular
tourist
destination,
and
it
is
also
a
place
where
many
Indians
come
to
pay
their
respects
to
Gandhi.
The
museum
is
open
daily
from
10:00
AM
to
5:00
PM,
and
admission
is
free.
In
addition
to
the
Kirti
Mandir,
there
are
a
number
of
other
places
in
Porbandar
that
are
associated
with
Gandhi's
life.
These
include:
The
Sudama
Mandir,
where
Gandhi's
father
was
the
chief
priest.
The
Porbandar
High
School,
where
Gandhi
received
his
early
education.
The
Mahatma
Gandhi
Beach,
where
Gandhi
used
to
spend
time
as
a
child.
The
Porbandar
State
Museum,
which
has
a
collection
of
artifacts
related
to
Gandhi's
life
and
work.
Porbandar
is
a
small
town,
but
it
has
a
rich
history
and
culture.
It
is
also
a
place
where
visitors
can
learn
more
about
the
life
and
work
of
one
of
the
most
influential
figures
of
the
20th
century.
Don't
