Pt. Jagganath Shukla bought in 1907 a spacious house in Raipur. It was located near the lake at Burhapara in Raipur. The new house would become the hectic nerve centre of the town and all of Central India, from where the freedom struggle against the British would be guided and fought. It was here that some of the boys of the family would be goaded by the British and taken into custody for long imprisonments, solitary confinements and torture for their anti-British stance. And where one and all would come for solace and advice from Pt. Shukla.
