Raj Ghat which also means 'King's Court' is located on the banks of the Holy Yamuna River on Mahatma Gandhi Ring Road in Delhi officially named after the 'Father of the Nation', Mahatma Gandhi Ji who was also one of India's greatest Leaders and freedom fighters who believed that Independence can be achieved by non violence and simple methods like fasting to death, which contrasted with many other Freedom Fighters who believed more in bloodshed and battles.
Mahatma Gandhi Ji was probably one of the greatest and undisputed leaders well respected by everyone. He led the way of 'non-violence' and 'righteous path' in order to force the British to Quit India. He also actively participated in many freedom movements including the Quit India Movement and was always in the forefront of it as its leader sincerely trying hard for the Independence of India and hence, 'Father of the Nation' is a well deserved name given to him.
Raj Ghat is where Mahatma Gandhi Ji was cremated on 31st January 1948 after his assassination and his ashes were buried and hence make it his final resting place beside the sanctity of the Yamuna River. It is constructed in the shape of a large square platform laid with black marble and an eternal flame burning perpetually in one corner to symbolising the eternity of this great leader. It is flanked with pathways made of stone stringed through the green covered lawns to arrive at the walled platform of this Memorial Site.
