Delhi: Ghandi’s Tomb (Raj Ghat)

Friday 11th November 2016

On the banks of the Yamuna River, a simple black-marble platform marks the spot where Mahatma Gandhi was cremated following his assassination in 1948. It is  inscribed with what are said to have been Gandhi’s final  words, Hai Ram (Oh, God).

 

The tomb is set in an extensive, well-tended park.

 

Large groups of schoolgirls were also visiting the tomb. It was either a very large school or else all girls’ schools in Delhi wear the same uniform.

 

The girls were very friendly and liked to come and say hello.
