Inside the museum we saw a large gong and other musical instruments. In the hall we were shown an animation movie.

We saw a monitor which was movable: as it moved from right to left, it told us about Gandhiji, right from his birth till his struggles and his success in achieving freedom for India.

There was a room where the drawings made by children were hung on the walls. On the side of the walls, Gandhiji's famous “Three Monkeys” were drawn. On one side were traditional ones and on the other were modern forms of the monkeys.

There was a table on which stood the models of the people who followed Gandhiji's principles. They included Albert Einstein, Nelson Mandela, Dr S Radhakrishnan, Mohammad Ali Jinnah and many more.

The volunteer also told us that Gandhiji’s last words were “Hey Ram”.

This visit was full of knowledge and I learnt a lot about Gandhiji which I did not know earlier.

I would like to thank my teachers who selected me to go to the Smriti. It was once in a lifetime experience

A memory to cherish for life
All of us were quite excited when we got to know that we would be visiting Gandhi Smriti. Gandhiji, who was Bapu for everyone, can never be forgotten. His courage and inspiration were a motivation for one and all. He was a man of dignity, who followed the path of non-violence and peace.

I was enthusiastic about getting to see the place where he spent the last 144 days of his life. We first saw the death place of Gandhiji. “Hey Ram” were the last words spoken by him. We were also told by the guide why this place is known as Tees January Marg. When I saw Gandhiji’s room, I had tears in my eyes. He lived in such simplicity.
