Moreover, it is this place that played a prominent role during the Indian war of Independence, as the mandates emanated from Ananda Bhavan, the strong hold of Indian National Congress and the ancestral home of legendary Nehrus were honoured by all. It is this place that exhibited , exceptional political awareness and literary eminence during the pre-Independent days that made it almost synonymous with India's freedom struggle. It is in this place Lord Canning read out Victoria's proclamation of new administration to Indians, when the first war of Independence shook the British throne to foundations. It is this place that was and is reverberating with the chiming temple bells and reciting of scriptures by the saffron robed sadhus for the liberation of pious pilgrims visiting in lakhs round the clock.
