Grade 5 - Aga Khan Palace
What is this Aga Khan Palace? Some of
them don't know about Aga Khan Palace, so today I am going to say about
Aga Khan Palace. Today I think my blog will be interesting about a
monument. My blog will be saying about this monument.
So let's start.
The
Aga Khan Palace is a National Monument of India. It played a very
important role during the Indian freedom movement. Located in Pune,
Maharashtra, the magnificent Palace stands on a vast area surrounded by a
beautiful garden. It was built in 1892 by Sultan Aga Khan III, after a
famine in the region. It generated employment for the famine -affected
people. During the fight against the British in 1942, Mahatma Gandhi was
arrested and kept under house arrest here, for close to two years. Other
noted leaders, including Gandhiji's wife Kasturba Gandhi, were also
imprisoned here.
Did you know? The
Palace is now known as the 'Gandhi National Memorial'. a small collection
of Gandhiji's ashes are kept here. National festivals and other notable
days such as Martyrs' Day and Gandhi Jayanti are observed.
So that was all about Aga Khan Palace. Hope you all liked my blog today. Bye bye have a great day.
