Raj Ghat Memorial New Delhi

This guide to the Raj Ghat Memorial in Delhi begins on the evening of January thirtieth, nineteen forty-eight, as Mahatma Gandhi, frail at seventy-eight, walked toward his daily prayer meeting in the garden of Birla House leaning on his grandnieces' arms. It follows the crowd that gathered there, the funeral procession that stretched for kilometers across Delhi the next day, and the choices architect Vanu G. Bhuta made in designing this quiet black-marble memorial. Listen for the story behind the trees planted here by visiting world leaders.
