    History

    Raj Ghat is the location where Mahatma Gandhi was cremated on 31 January 1948, following his assassination. The site quickly became a place of pilgrimage for those seeking to honor his memory and the principles he stood for. The memorial itself, a simple black marble platform, was designed to reflect Gandhi's humble nature and philosophy. Over the years, Raj Ghat has become a significant national landmark and a symbol of peace and nonviolence. It attracts visitors from all over the world who come to pay their respects and learn about Gandhi's life and teachings. The area surrounding the memorial has also become a place where other prominent Indian figures, including several Prime Ministers, have been cremated, making it a significant historical site within the city.

    Rajghat stands as a solemn tribute to the Father of the Nation. The quiet atmosphere and the eternal flame create a powerful reminder of Gandhi's enduring legacy. The site is beautifully maintained and offers a moment of introspection amidst the hustle of Delhi. A visit here leaves you with a profound sense of respect and inspiration

    Rasthrapita Mahatma Gandhi's memorial tomb, a huge land scape with memorials of Nehru, Indira, Rajeev, Sanjay Gandhi. Lot of walking needs to be done to reach all the memorials
