Gandhiji started living in Kocharb in Ahmedabad after his return from South Africa on 25th May 1915. He wanted to engage himself in several activities including animal husbandry, cow breeding and farming as such he had then moved to an open area on the banks of river Sabarmati.Legends state that the famed saint Dadhichi Rishi had once lived in this place. An ardent devotee of Lord Shiva, Dadhichi or Dadhyancha is said to have sacrificed his life so that the greatest weapon called Param Vir Chakra or Vajra was made out of his bones.From 1917 till 1930, Gandhiji stayed in the Ashram that has been named after the famed river Sabarmati. Salt Satyagraha or the Dandi March is one of the most important national movements that were undertaken by our freedom fighters seeking Independence from the British rule.
