of Mahatma Gandhi and the 300 room, The Leela Gandhinagar.
Inspired by the tenets of Mahatma Gandhi, this architectural marvel has an abundance of
natural light & airy spaces. While the innovatively designed spinning wheel generates energy
that helps illuminate the complex, access to the mound-shaped Dandi Kutir by way of a
suspension bridge is symbolic of the Dandi March that played a significant role in India's
Independence Movement.
