| Originally Shegaon, the name of this village was changed
to Sewagram by Gandhiji after he chose it to be a center for his social service
efforts and founded the Gandhi ashram. Aside from the ashram, which houses the
great leader's personal memorabilia, the Gyan Mandir is another place worth
visiting here. |
