The Salt March did not start from Sabarmati to the town of Rajkot. Mahatma Gandhi began the march with his 78 followers after receiving no positive reaction from Lord Irwin for his eleven demands. Gandhi embarked on a 240-mile journey from Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad to the seaside town of Dandi in Gujarat as part of the historic Dandi March Salt March. For 24 days, the volunteers walked 10 kilometres each day. Many people showed up to hear Gandhi speak. On April 6, he arrived in Dandi and broke the salt law by heating seawater to make salt.
