A black marble platform with an eternal flame marking where Mahatma Gandhi was cremated in 1948, set in lawns by the Yamuna.
Raj Ghat marks the spot on the Yamuna bank where Mahatma Gandhi was cremated on 31 January 1948. A plain black marble platform with an eternal flame at one end sits inside a walled enclosure, reached by stone paths through landscaped lawns. The complex has since grown to include memorials to other national leaders nearby, among them Shantivan (Nehru), Vijay Ghat (Shastri), Shakti Sthal (Indira Gandhi) and Vir Bhumi (Rajiv Gandhi). Visiting heads of state usually lay wreaths here.
