About Raj Ghat/ Shantivan

Raj Ghat is a memorial dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi, located on the banks of the Yamuna river in Delhi. It is the place where Gandhi was laid to rest through cremation on January 31, 1948, a day after his assassination. 

It includes a simple, black marble platform that signifies the exact place of his cremation. It is surrounded by a peaceful garden with beautifully decorated lawns, trees and stone pathways offering a peaceful place for reflection.
