Dr BR Ambedkar's had one of the largest personal libraries in the world at his home 'Rajgruha'

Premises of Dr BR Ambedkar's house 'Rajgruha' was vandalised here by unidentified persons on Tuesday.

Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar's residence and his followers have an emotional relationship, many expressed anger after the demolition of Babasaheb's residence. The state government has also taken serious note of the incident and warned that the accused will not be spared.

The vandalisation at Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar's residence in Mumbai is quite condemnable. It is the misadventure of anti-social elements with wicked mindset, said Ajit Pawar.

Rajgruh is located in the Hindu Colony area of Dadar East in Mumbai. It is the residence of Babasaheb Ambedkar. This historic shrine has three floors. It is a major place of worship for the masses in the Buddhist movement.

Rajgruha was named Rajgriha in reference to the ancient Buddhist kingdom. The ground floor of the three-story building hosts a heritage museum, as a memorial to the Indian leader.Plans to designate the building as a national monument fell through due to legal and technical issues.

But in 2013 the mansion became a heritage monument.

Ambedkar's legal office was near Damodar Hall in Parel. Eventually Ambedkar's house at Paybadevi could no longer accommodate his growing book collection, so he decided to build a new house for himself and his family.

Ambedkar planned for his new home to have a library. In the new structure, two blocks of three rooms were built on the ground floor of the Rajgruha.

In those two blocks, his family live. On the first floor of the royal house, he arranged his library and office.
