Located at Rajghat in Delhi, Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti, were developed in 1984 on a 45-acre land to propagate the life-mission and thought of Mahatma Gandhi.
As part of a makeover, new statues depicting Mahatma Gandhi's life and teachings have been built. Statues built by skilled sculptors from Rajasthan show Mahatma Gandhi spinning the Charkha, riding a bicycle and sitting on a bench.
The makeover is part of an initiative undertaken by Vijay Goel, the Vice-Chairman of the Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti, to bring tourists to the complex. The statues will be unveiled by President Droupadi Murmu on September 4.
The unprecedented floods in the Yamuna river this year damaged a part of the Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti wall. The flood water even reached the Gandhi Memorial at Rajghat.
