Lush green area with tight security around the area. One things is confusing that the Army personnel doesnt let you park your cycle at the front of the statue on the pavement. The board there says that one must not enter into the grassy area however on the pavement there is no such information. Morning sightseeing, weather and all the things were good

The massive, glistening black sculpture depicting Gandhi’s iconic Dandi March of 1931 stands proudly in the heart of the city, easily visible on the Sardar Patel Marg, near Willingdon Crescent. This poetic sculpture by veteran artist and sculptor Devi Prasad Roy Chowdhury shows ten Indian people following Gandhi on his path-breaking Civil Disobedience protest, hence the name - Gyarah Murti. Such a great place kindly visit thanku

It was well decorated. And yes today its visited by many cyclists, joggers, etc too.

Its the perfect checkpoint while cycling anywhere into North/Central/South Delhi. Although traffic in the evening is thick, its worth going by if youre headed into any of these areas as it lights but beautifully.

Nice place. Nicely managed by govt. Must visit if you are coming to Delhi 1st time.

Great environment and water tub.

A beautiful and Historical place to visit if you are in Delhi .

Visited first time...cycled from Gurgaon to indiagate whole that trip I seen this statues

I was so excited to see this sculpture, my mom once told about this Dandi March statue in my childhood. A great representation of Dandi March 24-day march lasted from 12 March 1930 to 5 April 1930 as a direct action campaign of tax resistance and nonviolent protest against the British salt monopoly. Gandhi started this march with 78 of his trusted volunteers. The march spanned 220 miles (350 km), from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi, which was called Navsari at that time (now in the state of Gujarat). Growing numbers of Indians joined them along the way. When Gandhi broke the British Raj salt laws at 6:30 am on 6 April 1930, it sparked large scale acts of civil disobedience against the salt laws by millions of Indians.No parking place available and we cannot stop our vehicles. 5-10 minutes is enough to take photos and visit this place.

Nothing much to speak about this. It looks nice!

Statue is very live, well remembering Gandhis Dandi March moments.Its on the path to the road, we can see it from window of vehicles.Within 10 minutes you can take a look around the statue.No parking near the statue.

Statue represents fansi yatra. Portrait in effect manner with keeping his historic values. Its on the road connectedness to Dhoula kuoan road and and Ram Manohar Lohia hospital.

An eye-catching road side monument. The only problem is that you can see the statues while driving. Strictly a no parking, no standing VVIP zone.

Very good...Whenever you cross the road, that statue brings you goosebumps...Jai hind

Flip a 500 Rupee Indian currency note and you will see an image of Mahatma Gandhi leading ten people on a march. The iconic Gyarah Murti in New Delhi signifies genius of  Mahatma Gandhi, It was a stroke of inspiration to suggest that something as mundane as salt can shake the foundations of the mighty British Empire. The Gyarah Murti statue is an apt tribute to the historic Salt March to Dandi lead by the Mahatma.

The massive, glistening black sculpture depicting Gandhi’s iconic Dandi March of 1931 stands proudly in the heart of the city, easily visible on the Sardar Patel Marg, near Willingdon Crescent. This poetic sculpture by veteran artist and sculptor Devi Prasad Roy Chowdhury shows ten Indian people following Gandhi on his path-breaking Civil Disobedience protest, hence the name - Gyarah Murti.The Vast SculptureGandhi’s iconic retinue in the sculpture includes a woman with her head covered following close after him; a cluster of three men including a turbaned Sikh visibly of high pedigree, a Hindu scholar with a topi and an emaciated Muslim peasant; a Hindu man wearing a turban as a mark of intellectual distinction, with a religious mark etched on his forehead; an impoverished peasant looking far ahead, bearing no marks of class, caste or religion on his body; a Christian priest; another woman in a skirt and a young boy egging on a weary old man to travel farther.Rich SymbolismThe portraiture of individuals participating in the Dandi March, and a modern rendition of that event in the past, symbolises the righteous anger of the citizenry. It is not an idealized piece of sculpture but one that contains the great truth about the people who succeeded in overthrowing the mammoth machinery of colonialism.The individuals in the frame are all arranged in a posture of determined forward movement. Gandhi leads them humbly with his head slightly bowed, looking to the ground. The others are pointing towards a distant but approachable destination with hands and eyes. The entire piece depicts and celebrates the spirit of collaboration.The maverick sculptor, with his eye for crucial detail, has represented them all with taut sinews, which shows a tense mood of anticipation and a suppressed exhilaration. Optimism is etched on their faces with hints of smiles. The figures are larger than life. The aim, clearly, is not a simplistic mimesis but an embellished representation of a nation’s idea of the self. There are no flags here, no marks of nationhood, but only a vast diversity of individuals making their way forward together.The Scalpel Behind The StoneThe prolific artist D.P. Roy Chowdhury (1899-1975), has created poetry in stone and on canvas. Throughout his life, he remained an artist who is said to have moved with and among the general public, choosing his figures and models from there.There has often been a lot of discussion about identifying the individuals of the Gyarah Murti group. But it is a pointless adventure, as those faces are recognizable not because they are famous, but because they belong to the common multitude.They are no one in particular, and yet all of us. His realism is mixed with a stroke of imaginative fantasy. He acquired his art and honed his skills under the expert tutelage of E. Boyes, Rabindranath Tagore and Hiranmoy Roy Choudhuri. In 1937, he was honoured by the British government as the Most Exalted Member of The British Empire, and in 1958, he was awarded the Padma Bhushan by the President of India. His litany of masterpieces includes Triumph of Labour and Madras and Martyrs, among memorable scores of others.This rendition of India’s political past does not fail to inspire awe despite the present day political climate being most unpromising, inspiring nothing but raw cynicism.So the encounter with the Gyarah Murti happens perhaps at an opportune moment, representing a moment of single nationhood before it got ideologically divided. Come witness the glory of our nation right here at Gyarah Murti!Where | Gyarah Murti - Near Willingdon Crescent, Sardar Patel Marg

Its a memorial for the march of Self Reliance that Gandhiji planned and executed.

Excellant piece of history!!!To commemorate the momentous Dandi March Government of independent India commissioned a statue. The statue was to be erected at the T-Junction at Sardar Patel Marg close to President’s Estate in New Delhi.

Amazing place to see.....cycles not allowed near it....best time to visit is in morning

I have drove past this beautiful statue several times. We cannot miss this fascinating statue when we travel from Delhi airport to Karol bagh or India Gate through SP Marg. We can see people taking selfies in front of this statue, which looks more beautiful when illuminated in the night. This statue represent Dandi March which was leading by our Rastrapita Mahatma Gandhi and this movement started with their fellows and lacs of freedom fighters on those days. Must visit place on 15 August or 26 January . Must you can feel how could they fight for us to British army No place for park your vehicle .One of the oldest structure, which represents the Dandi March by Gandhi ji, its been totally mesmerizing structure and represents how we fought with Britishers. The place is very soothing and reminds us the British Era. Its just on Sardar Patel Marg. One time visit is recommended. An iconic place in Delhi. You find this also in the currency notes if 500 denomination. If you are looking to go up close and click pictures guide can do that. In fact theres a small parking lot next to it. Being in a high security area not sure if you can move around freely in the vicinity as the boundary touches that of the presidents house. But worth a stop if you happen to be in Delhi

Beautiful statue. The police near it are super strict about where you take photos from though. Irony abound with a banner of Trump & Modi right next to Ghandi and Mother Teresa road. 4 very dissimilar public figures.

Awesome statue. Historical statue of Gandhis salt march. Well maintained. Clearly viewed from the road.

Beautiful place nice to ride

For a place that has the most well known sculpture of Delhi, there is surprisingly little information that people have beyond the name gyrah murti and dandi March. This sculpture was created by the maverick sculptor Devi Prasad Roy Chowdhury (1899-1975). Sadly he passed away before it could be completed. His students finished this project. The two women in the sculpture are modelled on Matangini Hazra and Sarojini Naidu. One of the male is modelled on Brahmabandhab Upadhyay, freedom fighter and thinker. The

Good place for just clicking a picture if you are passing by, not such a tourist spot. A very good spot however for cyclists though.

The statue of dandi march also known as 11 murti... its looks great and attract to people to have selfie with it..

A powerful symbol of Indias freedom struggle, Deviprasad Roy Chowdhurys Dandi March Statue is indubitably the most imposing public sculpture of the National Capital. Its location at the junction of Sardar Patel Marg and Mother Teresa Crescent in the verdant Presidents Estate enhances its impact.

Nice place to have a photo opportunity. Just dont step on grass. Its not allowed

This is an iconic place. Remember that demonetised 500 Rs Note, that had this image on back of it. I was excited to visit the place. Impressed by the statue but little dissappointed as there is no information displayed around it about the statue like who built it, what it is depicting, when it was inaugurated and all.

As we know that the major non-violent protest was led by Mahatma Gandhi in India during the struggle for freedom and Salt Satyagraha was one of them. It was started in March-April 1930.

A cycle ride and then a selfie !

Best view in night color effects.
