To this day, Allahabad Museum preserves salt from Gandhi's Dandi March

One of the momentous events in the history of India's struggle for independence was the Dandi Salt March led by Mahatma Gandhi. The historic event brought the entire nation together in the fight against the British. But what happened to the salt which was made? It was split into portions and sent all across India. One such portion was auctioned in Allahabad for Rs 500 by the Congress. To this day, the Allahabad Museum has carefully preserved the historic handful of salt, along with other artefacts related to the Mahatma - like his pocket watch and his pictures clicked during his visits to the city.
