Detailed Solution

The headquarters of the Hindustan Ghadar Party was in San Francisco. According to the official Consulate General of India in San Francisco, the Ghadar Party, founded in 1913, began its operations from 436 Hill Street, San Francisco. The place was known as Yugantar Ashram. From there, the revolutionaries organised their activities and published the weekly newspaper Gadar. The headquarters was later shifted to 5 Wood Street.
