In a story of revival and cultural significance, the Ratna Gandhi Smriti Bhavan in Surat, which had previously been known as the Gandhi Smriti Bhavan, has been reconstructed. This iconic venue, famous for hosting plays, holds a special place in the hearts of both artists and the public alike.
The history of the Gandhi Smriti Bhavan is steeped in the memories of numerous renowned artists who have graced its stage over the years. These memories, and the desire of theater artists, prompted a demand for the reconstruction of the venue. As a result, the state-of-the-art Gandhi Smriti Bhavan, aptly reflecting its rich legacy, stands proudly once again.
The completion of this reconstruction was celebrated in a special event attended by prominent figures, including Mayor Dakshesh Mavani and Standing Chairman Rajan Patel. The presence of theater artists at the inauguration emphasized the deep-rooted cultural and artistic importance of the Gandhi Smriti Bhavan.
As mentioned before, there was no cultural centre for the performances of the plays coming from Mumbai and Ahmedabad, making it difficult for the theatre audience to watch excellent plays and also to promote the theatre act which is a dying act in the OTT platform world. This initiative will not only preserve the theatre art and the artists but will give Surties a class experience and a platform for such social gatherings for hosting the theatre plays, promoting the local artists and preserving the art.
