This is a place of mixture of pride and sorrow for everybody. Pride about this Man's life, sorrow about his demise... A very good symbol of warm memory!

We visited Gandhi Smruthi on 19th April. The experience was very touching. We can see the belongings of our Gandhiji . By seeing all those stuffs, i felt very sad . Also the place he become a martyr. His last steps are recreted here. It would touch all Indians. We paid our homage to Bapuji and left.

The visit to the simple rooms where Gandhi lived his last days is deeply moving, most so the display of Gandhi's possessions, that take up so little space. Then you can walk the path of the last walk that Gandhi took to the point where he was assassinated. There are quotes from the Mahatma throughout the grounds. We took time... More

One evening when Gandhi was on his way to evening prayers with his followers, he was assassinated in the grounds of this house. The Gandhi Smriti houses a memorabilia, photographs and some personal... More

This building is in the rich area of Delhi. The exhibition as been set up in a very interesting way. You can see Gandhi's possessions, the bed he slept in for the last 144 days and see his final steps. It is free to visit and well worth doing so.

This was my favouite attractiin in Delhi. Ghandi is such an inspiration and this museum had so much information about him and his life. The gardens are manicured and tidy and the inside display with all the modern technology is world class, considering it is a FREE attraction! This is an awesome display and I especially loved his last footsteps.... More
