Kabir's Khadau (Footwear)

The Smriti Kaksh also exhibits Kabir’s old and dilapidated khadau (footwear) that measure 22.5 cm in length, 7.5 cm in width, and 3 cm in height, displayed on a stool. During the freedom struggle Mahatma Gandhi visited Kabirchaura Math in 1934 AD. The Mahatma expressed deep distress upon the pitiable condition of Sant Kabir’s footwear, following which the Math members took action and preserved the footwear in a glass case. From the historical as well archaeological perspective, this footwear is of great significance and enjoys great fame as well. Pilgrims and tourists flock the place annually to have a look at the khadau.
