| During the Dandi march, Mahatma Gandhi had spent a night at Saifee Villa. It was owned by the 51st religious head of the Dawoodi Bohra community. In 1961, he requested Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to dedicate this villa to the nation as part of the national heritage.
The villa was converted into a museum and is maintained by the Government of Gujarat. It has increased tourism in Gujarat. |
