EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, Bhim Bahdur, the caretaker of Kochrab Ashram in Ahmedabad, spreads a carpet in the serene Prayer Hall. This ashram holds immense historical significance as it was Mahatma Gandhi's most renowned abode and now serves as the venue for the unique "Live Gandhi for a While" program. Aspiring to find solace and simplicity, tourists can now experience a glimpse into the life of India's iconic independence leader by checking into this sacred space; however, they must adhere to strict rules of chastity. For just 1,000 rupees (approximately 16 dollars) per night, visitors have an extraordinary opportunity to immerse themselves in Gandhian philosophy at his inaugural ashram established back in 1915. Located in Gujarat state, this humble retreat offers an authentic taste of asceticism that defined Gandhi's way of life. The photograph beautifully captures the ambiance and tranquility exuded by Kochrab Ashram. Its walls whisper tales from history while inviting guests to embark on their own spiritual journey. The image showcases Sam Panthaky's remarkable talent behind the lens as he skillfully portrays both serenity and reverence within a single frame. This powerful visual narrative reminds us that amidst our modern world filled with material comforts and distractions, there exists an oasis where one can seek inner peace through simplicity – just as Mahatma Gandhi did during his transformative years spent at this very ashram.
