New Delhi- Raj Ghat

A simple square platform of black marble marks the spot where Mahatma Gandhi was cremated following his assassination in 1948. It is left open to the sky while an eternal flame burns perpetually at one end. It is surrounded by a stone wall in square shape in a park with beautiful flowers planted all around it. To get close next to the black marble platform you need to take off your shoes before entering the stone gate.
