Gandhi Smriti Museum Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Mahatma Gandhi was the unequivocal father of the nation of India. When he was assassinated in Delhi by a Hindu zealot named Nathuram Godse in January of 1948, the country was orphaned in its infancy – perhaps the most significant moment of its then-brief existence. In memory of the event, the house where Gandhi lived for the last 144 days of his life has been turned into a museum, the spot of his death in the gardens outside marked by a ‘Martyr’s Column’. It’s a small, sober place, but one as good as any to contemplate the Mahatma’s legacy.

Excellent museum in memoriam to Gandhi. This is the house where he lived for the last 144 days of his life and also the location of his assassination. Very nice grounds located near most of the Embassies in New Delhi. Ironically across the street from the National Defense Academy. Moving, easy to access, mostly hawker free and highly educational. Recommend this for a 30-60 minute (or longer if you want to watch the films) tour. Free admission.
Well kept and the security to the site was quite secure but un obtrusive. The eternal flame is a tribute to Gandhji who contributed so much to humanity. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and the museum inside is very interesting. Thoughtful memorial for such a heroic and far-sighted visionary as Gandhi. Several different exhibits outside on the grounds and inside the museum and other spaces. Definitely plan to spend 2+ hours to see it all. Make sure you go to the museum bookstore--- great collection of materials on/about/by Gandhi.
A compulsory passing place if you are in Delhi, to know more about the life of Ghandi. It's the house where he lived his last days and where he was murdered. The journey doesn't take long, in an hour everything is seen. The walk includes the room where he was sleeping and the place of the murder in the part of the garden, where there is a commemorative plate. Photos can be seen and if you have time to project a documentary. Entry is free.
