Raj Ghat and associated memorials
राजघाट समाधि परिसर
Raj Ghat is a significant memorial located in Delhi, India. It is dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the nation, who was assassinated in 1948. The memorial is a simple black marble platform that marks the spot of Gandhi's cremation on January 31, 1948. The site is open to the sky and is surrounded by a serene park with lush greenery. An eternal flame burns at one end of the platform, symbolizing the enduring legacy of Gandhi's ideals of peace and non-violence. In addition to the main Raj Ghat memorial, the area also houses other memorials dedicated to prominent Indian leaders. These include the Shanti Vana (Forest of Peace), the cremation site of India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, and Vijay Ghat, dedicated to Lal Bahadur Shastri, another former Prime Minister.
