GANDHI SMRITI
Birla House, New Delhi, Delhi, India
Gandhi Smriti Museum, also known as Gandhi Smriti, is a museum dedicated to the father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi. Situated on the Tees January Road in New Delhi, Gandhi Smriti Museum was formerly known as Birla Bhavan or Birla House. Birla Bhavan is the place where Gandhi Ji spent the last 144 days of his life and was assassinated by Nathuram Godse on 30th January 1948. Originally the house of Birlas, the Indian business family, it is now known as the Eternal Gandhi Multimedia Museum.
The revamp of the museum happened in the year 2005 and is situated near the Gandhi Samadhi at Rajghat. The museum contains personal documents, photographs, journals, books, relics, manuscripts and audio-visual material related to Mahatma Gandhi’s life and philosophy. To highlight the Khadi movement initiated by Gandhi Ji, the museum also houses a shop of khadi and village industry products. It is worth mentioning here that various national and international filmmakers have made films on the life of Mahatma Gandhi. These films are being showcased in the museum to give a glimpse of the life Gandhiji had lived.
