Gandhi Smriti

Description:

• This is where Mahatma Gandhi was assasinated on January 30, 1948. It was his residence at the time - and was converted into a museum soon after his death. It displays an extensive collection of Gandhi's photographs and personal items. There is also an interesting exhibit of small doll houses and terracotta dolls portraying the major events of Gandhi's life. The bare room, where he resided, is kept just as it was in his time. His last footsteps, from the house into the garden (where he was shot) are marked out in cement.
