Ahmedabad is located in Gujarat. Five km from the center is the Sabarmati Ashram, formerly Gandhi's headquarters, during the struggle for Indian independence. From here, Gandhi set out on his famous Salt March to the Gulf of Cambay to protest the salt tax . A pictorial record of his life as well as a library containing the war letter sent to Hitler July 23, 1939 asking him to pull back, are found in the museum on the grounds. The Ashram is still used for under-priviledge children to have a place to go.

The Calico Museum of Textiles, part of the Sarabhai Foundation contains an extensive collection of antique and modern Indian textile, a must see if you are interested in textiles.
