Sabarmati Central Jail’s popular Jail Bhajiya House has been transformed into a three-storey heritage-themed complex, linking its food offerings with the prison’s place in India’s freedom movement.
Heritage-Themed Complex
The revamped facility follows a distinctive ‘Jailer and Prisoner’ design theme, giving visitors a dining experience centred on the history and heritage associated with Sabarmati Jail.
The ground floor will house modern sales counters for the jail’s freshly fried bhajiyas and traditional farsan.
The first and second floors will feature a full-service restaurant, a spacious banquet hall and a museum dedicated to the time freedom fighters spent inside Sabarmati Jail.
‘Gandhi Thali’ To Be New Attraction
A key addition to the upgraded complex is the ‘Gandhi Thali’, a nutritious meal expected to attract both local visitors and tourists.
The new offering adds a historical element to the food experience at the Jail Bhajiya House, which has already gained popularity for its snacks.
Focus On Prisoner Rehabilitation
Managed by the Gujarat Prison Department, the Jail Bhajiya House has also functioned as a rehabilitation initiative for inmates.
The facility provides prisoners with vocational skills and an opportunity to earn financially while preparing them for reintegration into society.
The latest upgrade aims to improve the visitor experience while retaining the initiative’s focus on prisoner welfare and rehabilitation.
