Rajghat Gandhi Memorial Delhi

Raj Ghat - Delhi Tour The memorial of the Father of Nation, Raj Ghat is the resting place of Mahatma Gandhi Mahatma Gandhi was cremated here on 31st January 1948 a day after he was assassinated on 30th January 1948 by Nathuram Godse. Rajghat is a simple square platform with a black memorial stone with "the last utterance of Gandhi "Hey Ram" inscribed on his cenotaph in golden letters.

Situated on the west bank of the River Yamuna, Rajghat is surrounded by a wooded area and various exotic shrubs that give the area a tranquil ambience. There are two Gandhi museums in the premises namely Gandhi Memorial Museum and Gandhi Smriti Museum within the premises. Today, Rajghat is visited by high profile foreign dignitaries to pay their respects to Gandhi by laying flowers on the platform. For respect, tourists are required to remove their footwear before approaching. Each year prayer sessions are held by Politicians and citizens at the Raj Ghat on Gandhi's birth and death anniversaries to pay homage to the greatest Indian nationalist leader.
