ITANAGAR, Sep 1: Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt. General KT Parnaik (Retd.) visited Gandhi Smriti, a revered museum dedicated to the life and principles of Mahatma Gandhi, in New Delhi on Thursday.
Gandhi Smriti comprises visual aspects immortalizing Mahatma Gandhi and his noble ideas. Formerly known as Birla House, Gandhi Smriti stands as the poignant location where Mahatma Gandhi resided in the final 144 days of his remarkable life. It is a place of profound historical significance, preserving the legacy of the Father of the Nation. The museum displays photographs, paintings, sculptures, frescos and inscriptions on rocks that pertain to the years. The museum also exhibits a large statue of Mahatma Gandhi, with a girl and a boy holding a dove in their hands on either side. This poignant representation symbolizes his universal empathy and unwavering commitment to uplifting the marginalized and underserved.

The Governor after paying floral tributes at the Martyrs column where the father of the nation was assassinated also visited the museum.  Parnaik said that the Smriti symbolizes the great non-violent struggle led by the reverent Mahatma for the Independence of India. He said that Gandhi ji was a simple noble and caring personality, who was a great unifier of humanity and has made a place of reverence in the hearts and minds of the Indian citizens.
Appreciating the officials of Gandhi Smriti, the Governor said that Gandhi ji’s memories have been kept alive through the artistic and innovative displays in the museum. He emphasized on the continued relevance of his teachings in contemporary times and paid homage to Gandhi ji on behalf of the people of Arunachal Pradesh.
