FAQs On Aga Khan Palace

Pune, Maharashtra, India
The Aga Khan Palace is a majestic structure of historical and national importance, located on the outskirts of Pune's old city. It was built in 1892 by Sultan Muhammed Shah Aga Khan III, the 48th Imam of the Ismaili Muslims. The palace was constructed as an act of charity, intended to provide employ ment for the local population who were facing severe famine at the time. Its primary historical significance comes from its role as a prison during the Quit India Movement of 1942. Mahatma Gandhi, his wife Kasturba Gandhi, his secretary Mahadev Desai, and Sarojini Naidu were among the prominent national leaders held captive here from August 1942 to May 1944. Tragically, both Kasturba Gandhi and Mahadev Desai passed away during their internment and have their Samadhis (memorials) located within the palace grounds. In 1969, Prince Karim El Husseni (Aga Khan IV) generously donated the palace to the Government of India as a tribute to Gandhi and his philosophy. The palace now serves as the headquarters of the Gandhi National Memorial Society and houses a museum dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi and the freedom struggle, including a shop for Khadi (hand-spun cotton) products.
