Mandvi is situated at a distance of 446 km from Ahmedabad and virtually lies on the brink of the Arabian Sea. The city was once the summer retreat of Kutch Maharajas. Mandvi is a port city located at 22.81°N 69.36°E where the Rukmavati River meets the Gulf of Kutch. It is about 56 km south of the regional capital, Bhuj. It is approximately 446 km from the major Gujarati megacity Ahmedabad. Mandvi has no rail transport, So the nearest public airport and train station is in Bhuj.
My this post is about Shree Shyamji Krishna Varma Memorial a Great place to visit. All the photos posted shared here in are my personal visit to this place.
The British ruled over India for over two hundred years. They ruthlessly exploited India’s economic resources and mercilessly oppressed the people. Many individuals took on the might of the British to free India. Shyamji Krishna Varma chose to take this fight to British soil and made London his base. Shyamji Krishna Varma was born on 4th October, 1857 in Mandvi town of Kutch district of Gujarat. He was one of the foremost freedom fighters in the history of the freedom movement of India with high sense of patriotism and selfless service for the nation. He had organized a revolutionary center in "India House" at London and propagated the cause of India’s independence through his writings in his publication journal called The "Indian Sociologist". You can read further details about him at Wikipedia
The Memorial’s objective is to pay tribute to the contribution of Shyamji Krishna Varma and also to educate the young generation about those great Indians who sacrificed everything for the country’s freedom.
This place has nice garden area, an art gallery, play ground for kids, India House building, Parking area, Audio visuals of historical events, a library with large collection books, a store to buy kutchi handicraft items and much more.
