The first stop is the Gandhi Museum which has an extremely impressive collection of books, journals, documents, audio-visual materials, exhibitions, photographs, relics, memorabilia and art pieces that are related to Mahatma Gandhi, Father of the Indian Nation.

Our next stop is the Gandhi Memorial Museum. Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the Indian Nation, was assassinated by a Hindu fanatic, Nathuram Godse, on January 30, 1948 on the premises of the Birla House as he was coming out into the lawn for a prayer meeting. The building was turned into a national museum after his death and people from all over the country visit to pay their respects.

We then go to Raj Ghat, the last resting place of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi. The place is not far away from the banks of River Yamuna. Mahatma Gandhi was cremated here on January 31, 1948 following his assassination. The memorial stone is a simple square platform made of black stone. The last words uttered by Mahatma "Hey Ram" are inscribed near the black platform. An eternal flame keeps burning in a copper urn in the Raj Ghat.

Finally we will visit the Nehru Museum & Planetarium.Situated at the erstwhile residence of Late Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, Nehru Museum & Planetarium is the best place to learn about the history of the Independence Movement of India.
