On Gandhiji's final release from prison after his unconditional 21-day self-purification fast in 1933, Gandhiji, who had set out on his famous Dandi march, and pledged not to return to Sabarmati Ashram till independence was achieved, was invited by late Shri Jamnalal Bajaj to stay at Wardha.

Jamnalal Bajaj provided the land of the ashram site and Gandhiji stayed here from 1934 onwards, the premises of the ashram are still maintained in their original state, it is a good place to visit and especially the evening prayers at the ashram.

Near the ashram there is a exhibition on the life of Gandhiji.
