Gandhi Smriti

The moment you enter the museum, your head bows down in respect for the immortal soul of Mahatma Gandhi. An imposing statue of the Mahatma with a girl and a boy holding a dove can be

seen at the entrance. Situated on                                                             _Nil

Tees January Marg, which commemorates Mahatma’s martyrdom, the Museum is a tribute to the Mahatma’s memory.

It is here that Mahatma Gandhi spent the last 144 days of his life. The building originally belonged to the Birlas and was known as the Birla House. It was acquired by the Government of India in 1971 and later converted into a memorial in 1973.

Situated in a tranquil place, the museum was designed to showcase the various aspects of the Mahatma’s life — his ideas, principles and values. The museum houses his personal belongings along with some rare photographs, relics and frescoes. Gandhiji’s quotes are on display for the visitors. The room in which he lived and the prayer ground have been preserved as they were during Mahatma's lifetime. Concrete footprints trace his last steps from the room to the prayer ground. A martyr's column marks the place where he was assassinated.
