Rajkot, once the capital of the princely state of Saurashtra and also a former British government headquarters, was where Mahatma Gandhi spent the early years of his life. The Gandhi family home, the Kaba Gandhi no Delo, now houses a permanent exhibition of items related to the Mahatma. This bustling town houses the prestigious Rajkumar College which dates back to the second half of the last century and is regarded as one of the best private schools in the country.
