Destination guide
Gandhi Ashram and Freedom Struggle Museum
গান্ধী আশ্রম ও মুক্তি সংগ্রাম জাদুঘর
At Kapashatia in Melandaha, 16-18 km from town, one of the subcontinent's Gandhi ashrams — founded in 1934 as a khadi and cottage-industry centre. Visitors walk the quiet compound and the small freedom-struggle museum inside; history-minded travellers rate it the district's most thought-provoking stop.
