Khadi shopping in Mumbai

Looking for some comfortable summer wear, or maybe products for your skin, which are not chemical based? The perfect place for you is the aamchi Mumbai’s Khadi store, located at the Kora Kendra complex (Borivali West). “Khadi” or “Khaddar”, made by spinning the threads on an instrument known as the ‘charkha’ has been around for eons. Infact this was something followed ardently by Gandhiji during the pre independence era.

Since then, Khadi has revolutionized the concept of organic fabric, and using products which do more good than bad. It has come a long way, from being considered the option for the poor or for Politicians. Today, you can see youngsters sporting sandals made from natural products, stashing away fragrant pouches in their wardrobe, and not feeling awkward about it.

The Khadi centre, within the complex, offers Khadi lengths, pure honey, soaps in enticing fragrances from sandalwood, rose to neem and lavender, packaged with enticing wrappers. Apart from this, you are also bound to find an exotic range of incense sticks in varied fragrances of jasmine, mogra, and even rose. As you make you way towards the nursery, the sweetness in the air, adds to the visual feast with its enticing varieties of flowers, plants and herbs. Not just plants, they have the fertilizers and pots which can be used in your homes to grow the plants.

Well, it is no wonder that the complex houses the Gandhi museum as well. The museum showcases the life of the Mahatma with displays of vibrant fiber glass figures and items like the charkha. There are also a zillion photographs from his life’s journey, all of which transport you to a different era, humbling you with its purity and patriotism.

Wander about the campus to soak in the serene surroundings when done with the shopping spree.

A concept with a difference, proving Mera Bharat Mahan!
