The glasses worn by Sir Ben Kingsley in the film Gandhi will be preserved at the museum in City Palace. These glasses were gifted to Shreeji Arvind Singh Mewar in a recently held program in honor of Film Director Lord Richard Attenborough at London.

The film ‘Gandhi’, which was released in 1982 was awarded with 11 Oscars. The role of Sir Ben Kingsley as Gandhi was also highly acclaimed all over the world.
