Rajghat (Ghandi memorial)

Loading photo...

Raj Ghat is the cenotaph built in honor of Mahatma Gandhi. It is located on the banks of the river Yamuna. This grave black marble podium marks the spot of Mahatma’s cremation on the 31 January 1948. An abiding flame at one end, which burns ceaselessly, flanks the platform. A stone alleyway with lawns on either sides leads to the enclosed space that has the memorial with the epitaph Hey Ram, thought to be the last words articulated by Gandhiji.

As a mark of respect, it is obligatory for visitors to remove footwear before entering the memorial. It has become a routine for foreign personages visiting India to pay their reverence to Mahatma Gandhi at the Raj Ghat.
