The great country India is land of Mahatma Gandhi. His methods and teachings were unique. Gandhi Smriti which is originally known as Birla house is the place where Gandhi ji spent his last 144 days of life. This place is turned into museum and open for common visitors. From his praying area to where he was shot, everything is at this place. Must visit place for everyone specially kids and school going students.

They will show you the animated film of how Gandhi was assassinated by Nathu Ram Godse. There is the bed of Mahatma Gandhi and detailed writing of how Gandhi spent his last 48 hours, what are their visions and thoughts and all.It will be closed on Monday.Recording is prohibited there but photos are allowed.Dont miss this place if you are in Delhi. There are many more attractions nearby.

Entry is free for all.And there will be volunteers who will show you the entire place and explains you about each and every part. They stay very friendly and they look like true followers of Gandhi.

Its a journey through history. The museum is definitely well maintained and working staff is very polite, they will guide you through the Smriti journey. There are few monkeys playing around in the garden but they are harmless. Covid precautions care well taken. The digital room was closed due to covid though.

A museum dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi, this is the site where Mahatma Gandhi spent the last 144 days of his life and was assassinated on 30th January 1948. The 12-bedroom house was built in 1928 by Ghanshyamdas Birla. Sardar Patel and Mahatma Gandhi were frequent guests of the Birlas. They sold this house to the government and when the House was opened to the public, it was renamed as Gandhi Smriti. The museum in the building houses a number of articles associated with Gandhis life and death. Visitors can tour the building and grounds, viewing the preserved room where Gandhi lived and the place on the grounds where he was shot while holding his nightly public walk. Gandhi was shot during his prayers at the place where Martyrs Column now stands. Outside the house stands a pillar that contains a swastika symbol. The prominence of the pillar means that it has been used as a visual example of the way the ethical meaning of the swastika symbol had changed in the West in the 20th century. A large collection of photographs with a few personal belongings and a series of small doll houses and terracotta dolls illustrating Gandhijis life are the attractions at this museum. The preserves include the room where Mahatma Gandhi lived and the prayer ground where he held a mass congregation every evening. It was here that the assassin’s bullets felled Gandhiji. The building and the landscape have been preserved as they had been in those days.

Numerous references can be found to Mahatma Gandhi throughout Delhi, a testament to the mans legacy. Of the many attractions related to the famed leader of the Indian independence movement, perhaps the best is Gandhi Smriti (Gandhi Remembrance), a museum housed in the property where he was assassinated in 1948.Highlights include displays and memorabilia relating to both his life and death, including the room in which he stayed, left exactly as it was at the time, as well as the new Eternal Gandhi Multimedia Museum with historical records detailing his many achievements.A particular highlight is the chance to stroll the very same gardens where Gandhi once spent so much time (the place where the shooting occurred is marked by the Martyrs Column). Also of interest is the Raj Ghat memorial to Gandhi just a few minutes walk away on the spot where he was cremated.

Must go place, very clean. Water and washroom facility is available. No Entrance fee. You can feel the Peace. Staff behavior is very good. Gandhi Smriti, housed in the Old Birla House on 5, Tees January Marg, New Delhi, is the sacred place where Mahatma Gandhi’s epic Life ended on 30 January 1948. Mahatma Gandhi had lived in this house on September 9, 1947, to January 30, 1948. Thus, the hallowed house treasures many memories of the last 144 days of his life. The Old Birla House was acquired by the Government of India in 1971 and was converted into a National Memorial of the Father of the Nation and was opened to the public on August 15, 1973. The preserves include the room where Gandhiji lived and the prayer ground where mass congregation used to be held. This was the place where Gandhiji was felled by the assassin’s bullets. The building and the landscape have been preserved as they were in those days. ( Source: gandhismriti.gov.in)

Visit the place if you want to know about Mahatma Gandhi (fondly called as Bapu). His life history in pictorial and movie formats add to the liveliness of the place. Also, the preserved places where he used to hold meetings, prayers, and the place of his sad assassination take one back to the era of struggle for our freedom. A must visit for anyone coming to Delhi. Cleanliness just adds to the beauty of the place.

This is the location in Delhi where Gandhi was assassinated. It now contains a museum situated on very peaceful grounds. It is a nice quiet place to escape the craziness of Delhi and learn about Gandhis life and influence. The museum is quite nice but be prepared to do lots of reading as most of the exhibits require you to read except for the interactive items upstairs. You could easily spend a couple of hours here and its free to get in.

Very well maintained place, this is the place specially built for Mahatma Gandhi to start here in Delhi by the indian v very big business family Birlas, and this is the same place where Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated...So they have kept his room/daily usable stuff n meeting room as it is on display, and they have exhibited all the history of Mahatma Gandhis life in the entire remaining house, all of his life has been displayed here and also on upper floor of this house is being used as several exhibition place where different different artists exhibits and dedicate their work to Mahatma Gandhi...A must visit place and also a far better place than the National Gandhi Museum in Delhi, where i couldnt find anything maintained properly...

This is the very place where Gandhiji uttered his last words Hey Ram... A monument that speaks the life and journey of Mahatma.... What makes him our father of the nation, what made our nation what it is today.... informative scriptures, dioramas of epic scenes and rare photographs of the Mahatma...In the asthetics front the place is well maintained, the staff are friendly and they even guide you through the museum if you ask and also explain things around.. the place has a serene touch to it with the quiteness that surrounds it . And if you are lucky you will even spot a peacock wandering about while entering this interesting place .And what else , they donot charge a single penny for the entrance...All these and many more information makes this place worth a visit when you are in the countrys capital.

I felt very humbled to be in the home of Gandhi, now a museum. For me it is a reminder about how important each of our lives are, and that we all have a contribution to make in this world.It is a very quiet and beautiful garden, I am sure designed to give folks an opportunity to reflect on their own life.As Gandhi said, My life is my message. Let that be our message too.

The simple and peaceful setup of the museum seem to espouse Ghandi’s values in life, and I enjoyed reading about the many stories and meaningful quotes of this great man.As this was the house where Ghandi was assassinated, you can also read and follow his daily routine on that fateful day right up until the bullet bites.
