Opened in 1955, the institution hoses a Gandhi picture gallery, museum, Khadi Gramodyog Bhandar and a library.

Takhteshwar Temple

Made of pure marble and constructed in late nineteenth century, the temple is situated on a hillock near the Takhteshwar railway station on the railway line between Bhavnagar and mahuva. The picturesque view from the temple adds to the serenity of the place.

Gogha

Historically, a nursery for the Kathiawad seafarers, the fortune of this port-town has fluctuated with the growing and diminishing might's of European seapowers and big-neighbours Surat, Khambhat and Bhavnagar. Portuguese target of fury, the port was burnt thrice for frightening the Muslim lords of Gujarat and keeping British at bay. The burning of Rahimi, 1500-ton pilgrim ship, was the last show of Portuguese power, off the coast of Gogha. With English ascendancy at sea, importance of Surat grew at the cost of Khambhat and Gogha. It temporarily flourished during 1860s due to boom in trade resulting from American War of Independence. This uptrend was short-lived due to growth of neighbouring Bhavnagar, at a distance of 13 kms, which offered better facilities. The port-town continues to contribute its valued share as a minor port. Town has a historical Jain temple of Navkhanda Parshwanath from where a horde of bronze idols have been discovered.
