Visit Gandhigram Trust

Retrace India's indigenous textile history

Any student of Indian history knows the role the humble, homespun khadi fabric played in encouraging the cottage industry during colonial rule. Mahatma Gandhi set into motion the Khadi industry – which still continues to this day. Visit the Gandhigram Trust near Dindigul, to witness the small-scale production of India’s indigenous fabric. The unit also champions other cottage crafts like herbal shampoos and soaps, which are sold under the Khadi brand across the country.
