Sabarmati

Northern Indian river that rises in the
Aravalli Hills in the state of Rajasthan,
and flows south to the Gulf of Cambay in
the state of Gujarat. It is best known as
the site of the Sabarmati Ashram, across
the river from the city of Ahmedabad in
Gujarat. The Sabarmati Ashram was
home to Mohandas K. Gandhi for sixteen years after he returned from South
Africa in 1915. He organized much of
the struggle for Indian independence
from this ashram.
