Introduction of Rajghat |
Rajghat is
the last resting place of Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation.
The cremation of Mahatma Gandhi took place at the Delhi Raj Ghat only,
on 31st January 1948. The memorial stone of Mahatma Gandhi placed
there is a simple square platform made of black stone, with the words
"Hey Ram" inscribed near it. As homage to the Mahatma, an eternal
flame, in a copper urn, keeps on burning there. Enclosing the memorial
is a low wall, simple with no ornamentation. Every Friday, a
remembrance ceremony takes place at the Delhi Raj Ghat National
Memorial.
Along with that, on the birthday (2nd October) as well as death
anniversary (30th January) of Mahatma Gandhi, prayers are held here.
30th January, the day Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated is remembered as
Martyr's Day.
