Ans: (a) It was only a place for spiritual seeking.
Explanation:
The Sabarmati Ashram, established by Mahatma Gandhi in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, was not solely a place for spiritual seeking. While spiritual practices and principles were an integral part of the ashram’s philosophy, it served as a center for various activities beyond spiritual pursuits. The ashram aimed to promote social service, foster self-reliance, and uplift rural communities.
