About
The former Viceroy's official Bombay residence, later used to detain Mahatma Gandhi, his wife Kasturba and secretary Mahadev Desai during the Quit India movement of 1942-44. Both Kasturba Gandhi and Mahadev Desai died in custody here, and their memorials stand in the palace gardens. Built in 1892 by the Aga Khan family in Indo-Saracenic style, it was later donated to the nation by Aga Khan IV. It now functions as a memorial and museum to Gandhi's life and the freedom struggle.
Did you know? Aga Khan Palace served as Mahatma Gandhi's prison during the 1942 Quit India Movement — his wife Kasturba Gandhi and secretary Mahadev Desai both died here in captivity, and their memorials still stand within the palace grounds.
