[2] Dandi village near Navsari was the focal point of the great Salt March led by Mahatma Gandhi during civil disobedience movement of India.

Navsari was originally known as "Navasarika", and was the capital of a vishya (an administrative unit) in the Lata region.

[3][4] It is identified with "Nusaripa", a city mentioned in Ptolemy's 2nd century Greek-language work Geography.

The Parsis found the city's atmosphere similar to that of the Sari region of Iran.

Meherjirana Dastur calmly replied, "All religions are equal in terms of strength and ideology and principle".

Akbar wrote on a scroll about the donation of land which is still preserved by the management of the library.

Zoroastrians/Parsis roamed in the forest and cave of Ajmalgadh to save and protect their sacred fire-cauldron for nearly 250–350 years.

Recently, the local administration constructed a pillar on the hill of Ajmalgadh describing the story.

This peaceful protest was a landmark moment in India's struggle for independence from British rule.

The memorial stands as a testament to Gandhi's philosophy of nonviolent resistance (satyagraha).

It features a poignant statue of Gandhi, 24 narrative murals depicting the march, and solar evaporation ponds where visitors can learn about salt production.

The memorial aims to inspire visitors while recreating the spirit of the Dandi March, a pivotal event that shook the foundations of British colonial power and helped pave the way for India's freedom.
