 While touring of national capital Delhi, don't miss the opportunity of taking pleasure in a serene ambience Raj Ghat, which is located between the main two Ring Road and on the west bank of the Yamuna River and to the southeastern side of the Red Fort. Raj Ghat is set in the midst of deep lush-green lawns where the father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi was cremated on 31st January 1950.
Raj Ghat is a simple square platform with a black memorial stone with "Hey Ram" inscribed on it.

The whole construction of the Samadhi reflects the simple and nature-loving personality of the great leader.
