Vapi, Gujarat, 05th October 2026: This Gandhi Jayanti, Galaxy High Street, a contemporary retail and lifestyle destination in Vapi that brings together shopping, dining, entertainment and engaging community experiences, is set to present “Kaba Gandhi No Delo: From Roots to Nation Building” an experiential installation that invites visitors to look beyond familiar Gandhi symbols and discover the home, formative years and values that shaped his journey.
Inspired by Kaba Gandhi No Delo, the ancestral home associated with Gandhi’s early years in Rajkot, the installation will recreate the historic setting at Galaxy High Street. Through photographs and immersive elements, visitors will have an opportunity to step into the story, discover its significance and experience a glimpse of the environment that shaped Gandhi’s early years.
A key element of the campaign is its focus on seven values associated with Gandhian thought — Truth, Non-violence, Simplicity, Self-reliance, Equality, Discipline and Service. The installation presents these not simply as historical ideals, but as values that can continue to find relevance in everyday life. Visitors are encouraged to reflect on how individual choices and actions can contribute to a larger idea of community and nation-building.
From discovering the story behind Kaba Gandhi No Delo to engaging with its values through thoughtfully created installations, the experience offers visitors an opportunity to explore, reflect and participate at their own pace. In doing so, Galaxy High Street brings a meaningful cultural experience into the everyday retail environment.
Jignesh Kumar, a visitor at the installation, said, “I’ve seen Gandhi’s spectacles and the charkha represented many times, but I had never heard about Kaba Gandhi No Delo before. Seeing the house recreated here made the story feel much more personal and helped me understand the early context behind the person we know as Gandhi.”
An interactive charkha experience will further bring this thought to life, allowing visitors to sit and try spinning the wheel themselves. Moving beyond its familiar symbolism, the experience will highlight ideas of Swadeshi, self-reliance and dignity of labour, turning the charkha from an object of remembrance into an act of participation. Falguni Jain, a women visitor shared, “What stood out for me was being able to actually use the charkha rather than just seeing it as a display. It made ideas like self-reliance and dignity of labour feel much more tangible. It’s an experience that makes you pause and think, rather than just look and move on.”
