Followed by seventy-nine ashramites, Gandhi embarked on his march from his Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi that is located on the shores of the Arabian Sea.

On 6th April 1930, after a prayer, Gandhi raised a lump of salty mud and declared, ‘with this, I am shaking the foundations of the British Empire’. He then boiled it in seawater, producing illegal salt. He asked his thousands of followers to do the same and broke the salt law.
