Gandhi Smriti
Gandhi Smriti is the house where Mahatma Gandhi spent his final 144 days and where he was assassinated on January 30, 1948; the exact spot of his assassination is marked in the garden with a memorial column. The house has been converted into a museum tracing his life and philosophy through photographs, personal items, and interactive exhibits.
It's a solemn, historically significant site rather than a grand attraction, and particularly meaningful for visitors interested in India's independence movement and Gandhi's personal history. The preserved room where he stayed and the garden path he was walking when he was shot add a direct, tangible connection to the events of that day.
