When it was identified that a small house in Podanur where Gandhiji stayed during his visit to Coimbatore in 1934 as a part of the Harijan tour has survived the test of time, it was decided to set up the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial . The idea was to not only inspire visitors but also to be a space that actively spreads awareness about Gandhian principles and its relevance to the 21st century. The memorial hosts lectures, workshops and events throughout the year.
