Why to visit Anand Bhawan
Motilal Nehru, a prominent politician in India, built Anand Bhavan in the 1930s as the family's new home when Swaraj Bhavan, their first palace, became the regional office of the Indian National Congress.
Within the grounds of Anand Bhavan is a museum division called Swaraj Bhavan. In addition, the facility features the 1979-built Jawahar Planetarium.
The planetarium, which is run by the "Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Fund," was constructed to spark interest in science among both the general public and schoolchildren.
80 people can sit in the planetarium, which now presents programmes about space and the stars. The planetarium also broadcasts documentaries on our galaxy and other extraterrestrial life.
The house was furnished with Chinese and European-imported timber furniture, as well as with diverse antiquities from around the globe. Many well-known freedom fighters went there to plan their plots to expel the British from the country.
Indira Gandhi bequeathed the structure to the Indian government in 1970, and it now houses Nehru's study and bedroom which are the most fascinating areas of the exhibit.
Mahatma Gandhi used to reside in chambers that were devoted to both him and Indira Gandhi while he was in Allahabad. There is a library in this house that is white and blue. An outhouse outside the Bhawan contains an exhibition of images.
