Gandhi Nu Gam, Inhabited By The Meghwal Community, Boasts Of Beautifully Painted Circular Huts Organized Around The Temple. Between The Vibrant Kanjari Blouses Of The Women And The Men Hunched Over In Various Corners Carving Woods, The Village Is An Aesthetic Delight. In The Effort To Curb Exploitation And Experiment With Community Marketing, The Hamlet Has Set Up An Otlo Or A Roofed Platform Next To The Temple, Where Each Household Brings It Embroidered Goods For Sellings. Please Respect This Effort And Avoid Browsing Through Items In Individual Households. The Remaining Hamlets Belongs To The Samma Community, Who Are Primarily Herdsmen And Slightly More Conservative Toward Tourists.

Gandhi Nu Gam
Ever Since I Was A Kid, Mahatma Gandhi Had Always Inspired Me. It Was Hence Quite A Revelation When I Visited This Beautiful Village Called Gandhi Nu Gam. I Wondered Why It Was Called So. On Asking The Local Guide, I Was Told That The 2001 Earthquake Had Left This Village Devastated. The Redevelopment Of This Entire Village Was Carried Out, Re-Creating Everything Bit By Bit. While Building The Village Again, The Team Took Utmost Care In Keeping The Village’s Socio-Cultural Traditions Intact.
The Project Constructed 455 Traditional Bhungas Together With Three Schools, A Grass Bank, Community Buildings, Production Centres, Religious Shrines, The Electricity Network And A Water Harvesting System. Sixty Of These Dwellings Were On A New Site Situated Centrally Among The Existing Settlements In The Area; The Remaining Dwellings Were In The Existing Hamlets Spread Over A 10 Km2 Area. Each Dwelling Was Provided With Its Own Individual Dual Pit Toilet System And A Bathing Cubical.
Gandhi Nu Gam Is A Living Example Of Sheer Grit And Determination That Can Preserve The Past, As Well As Shape The Future.
