Anand Bhavan, the former home of the Nehru-Gandhi family, is now a museum of the independence movement and one of the most significant heritage houses in India. The Nehru family lived here through the crucial decades of the freedom struggle — Motilal Nehru, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Indira Gandhi all inhabited these rooms at different times, and many of the key decisions and meetings of the Indian National Congress were held here.
The house is preserved largely as it was during the family's residence: Nehru's study, Indira Gandhi's childhood room, the drawing room where Gandhi and other leaders met, and family portraits throughout. A separate building on the grounds, Swaraj Bhavan (the original family home before the move), is also open to visitors and contains an exhibition on the independence movement. The property is maintained by the Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Fund and is open Tuesday to Sunday.
