Allahabad - Swaraj Bhavan Museum

Swaraj Bhavan Museum

Situated next to Anand Bhawan, Swaraj Bhavan was donated to the Nation by Motilal Nehru (Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first prime ministers father) to be used as the headquarters of the Congress Committee. Motilal Nehru bought the house in 1900 and doesn't look like it has been lived in ever since although he lived here until 1930. His grand-daughter, the late Prime Minister of India, Mrs. Indira Gandhi was born here.
