Mahatma Gandhi is India’s national hero, the leader of a pacific resistance against British rule and a man who inspired fights for civil rights and freedom all over the world.
Anyone who visits New Delhi and is interested in learning more about this extraordinary man should add Gandhi Smriti to their list of places to see.
Located on Tees January Road in front of the National Defense College, this is the spot where Gandhi spent the final 144 days of his life before he was assassinated. Now, it is a spot to learn about the work that Gandhi did for Indian independence and civil rights and hosts a multimedia museum where you can learn more about what he did.
With free admission for all and open every day except for Mondays and national holidays, you can spend time exploring the house where Gandhi lived for nearly half a year as you explore the exhibitions that tell the story of his life.
Outside of the home, a solemn spot known as the “Martyr’s Column,” remembers the spot where Gandhi’s life was taken from him as a punishment for his fight for freedom.
Be sure to make time to pay a visit to this extraordinary place if you are ever lucky enough to visit New Delhi.
