The Aga Khan Palace was built in 1892 by Sultan Muhammed Shah Aga Khan III. Mahatama Gandhi, his wife Kasturba Gandhi and his secretary Mahadev Desai were interned in the palace from 9 August 1942 to 6 May 1944, following the launch of Quit India Movement.
Kasturba Gandhi and Mahadev Desai died during their captivity period in the palace and have their Samadhis located over there. Aga Khan palace has Italian arches and spacious lawns. Prince Karim Aga Khan donated this palace to Gandhi Smarak Samittee in 1972.
