Geography & terrain

Wardha lies in the Wardha district of Maharashtra at about 250 m, 80 km from Nagpur and 20 km from Sevagram — the ashram town of the region, its Gandhi ashram, the museum and the cotton fields set on the Wardha river's banks.

History & culture

The town's story runs with the 1936 ashram era — the ashram town of the 1936-era ashram and the 20th-century-era Gandhi life of the Sevagram years, with the town's modern role as the heritage stop of the Nagpur circuit and the home of the 1936-era ashram and the museum and the 2000s-era archives; the town's history of the 1940s-era independence life and the cotton fields, gives Wardha its Gandhi character.
