The replica of the famous Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad was recreated at Gandhi Bhavan in the picturesque Manasagangothri campus as part of the centenary celebrations of the University of Mysore in 2017. Going forward and adding to the lustre will be nearly 25 sculptures of the Mahatma in various poses that are coming up in the sylvan surroundings of Gandhi Bhavan. Realising how important it is to spread the message of Gandhiji, the Father of the Nation, the Gandhi Bhavan authorities came with the idea of the workshop by well-known and young sculptors to sculpt his figures. The aim is also to introduce his thoughts and actions to the future generation as Gandhiji will always remain relevant to the nation. The work on all 25 sculptures will be completed by Nov.5.
