Continue your journey with a visit to the Sevagram Ashram. It was developed in 1936 by Gandhiji, as he stayed overnight in a hut, thus the name. The primary attraction of the ashram is the photo gallery, wherein you will see some unforgettable moments of Gandhiji, his documents, and his paintings. End your day with a visit to the Shri Poddareshwar Ram Mandir, known for its architecture and peaceful ambiance. The temple is dedicated to Lord Ram.
