Tips from the community
Raj Ghat is a memorial to Mahatma Gandhi, known as the Father of the Nation due to his successful movement to gain India’s independence from Great Britain. His non-violent resistance tactics inspired civil rights and independence movements around the world.
Gandhi was assassinated in New Delhi in 1948. The memorial, located near the Yamuna River, consists of a garden, black marble platform, and flame marking the site where his remains were cremated. Prayers are held every Friday, as well as on the anniversary of his birth and death, to remember him.
