I’ve been really looking forward to visiting this place. Mahatma Gandhi forced Indians to think about opposing British rule in India by non-violent means. He succeeded to a greater degree and this monument is actually located on the spot that he was cremated. The place is called Rajgat and many dignitaries that visit India come to this place to pay their respects to a man who had great vision and compassion. The following photos provide a little more detail.

The simple black marble slab marks the exact place where Gandhi Ji was cremated. To the right you can see the eternal flame.
The main entrance to the small garden in which the monument stands can be seen just behind us.
A simple band to prevent access to the monument itself.
Profound words.
