          Introduction of Rajghat | 
           
          
          | 
           
          Rajghat is 
          the last resting place of Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation. 
          The cremation of Mahatma Gandhi took place at the Delhi Raj Ghat only, 
          on 31st January 1948. The memorial stone of Mahatma Gandhi placed 
          there is a simple square platform made of black stone, with the words 
          "Hey Ram" inscribed near it. As homage to the Mahatma, an eternal 
          flame, in a copper urn, keeps on burning there. Enclosing the memorial 
          is a low wall, simple with no ornamentation. Every Friday, a 
          remembrance ceremony takes place at the Delhi Raj Ghat National 
          Memorial. 
           
          Along with that, on the birthday (2nd October) as well as death 
          anniversary (30th January) of Mahatma Gandhi, prayers are held here. 
          30th January, the day Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated is remembered as 
          Martyr's Day.
