Prince Karim Aga Khan donated this palace to the Gandhi Smarak Samitee in 1972 and since then, the Parks and Gardens organisation has been maintaining this garden. Mahadeobhai Desai (August 15, 1942) and Kasturba Gandhi (February 22, 1944) breathed their last in this palace.

Their marble memorials are beautifully designed by the famous architect Charles Correa which can be seen over here. The statue of Mahatma Gandhi also stands here. Apart from this the items used by Mahatma Gandhi including his writing desk, his bed, Kasturba’s saree and her footwear are preserved here. It is open on all working days except national holidays.u00a0
