Mahatma Gandhi Memorial

The city of Coimbatore shares a special bond with Mahatma and has played a seminal role in nurturing the patriotic fervor in this region. Mahatma had visited the city thrice and left indelible footprints in this landscape.

The simple tiled-roof house of Shri G D Naidu family at Podanur gained historical significance in 1934 when Mahatma stayed overnight in this house on the 6th & 7th of February which had been occupied by Sri.Avinashilingam Chettiar, the founder of the Ramakrishna Mission Vidyalaya to run a small school for the Harijan students. Ideologically, this simple abode became an ideal space for the Mahatma to stay, who patronized Harijan welfare and emancipation.

Mahatma Gandhi Memorial, Coimbatore located at Podanur is a space of historical significance, showcasing the life and message of Mahatma Gandhi and disseminating the principles of non-violence, peace and love for humanity through celebrations, events and activities.
