Mahatma Ghandi cremation on January 31, 1948 site,situated on Delhi's Ring Road. simple, beautiful, clean, and peaceful. A black mausoleum adorned with flowers signifies his eternal resting place. You can either walk up the incline and view from above, or walk to the stone. Quotes from Gandhi line the walkway along with beautiful flowers. Very well kept and clean grounds. Photography is allowed but visitors are encouraged to do so with reverence and sensitivity. Food items are NOT ALLOWED Inside this place and a thorough security check is done at entrance gate. Inside the premises, you'll hear songs like 'Hey Ram.' There are toilet facilities and wheelchair accessibility. 30 minutes to an hour is sufficient. The lower deck requires us to remove our shoes to walk towards the center of the field where the cremation spot is located. Try to go in cool weather you would have a wonderful experience. Avoid in the afternoon or extreme hot weather. Nearest metro - Delhi Gate and Entry fee - free
