Gandhi Smriti, formerly known as Birla House, is the mansion where Mahatma Gandhi spent the last 144 days of his life, and the spot where he was assassinated on 30 January 1948. The colonial-era building has been preserved as a national memorial and museum. Rooms remain as they were on the day of Gandhi's death: his spinning wheel, sandals, and personal effects are displayed in glass cases.
A covered walkway leads through the garden to the Martyrs' Column, marking the exact spot where Gandhi fell after being shot by Nathuram Godse during an evening prayer meeting. The memorial is free to enter and operates as a place of quiet contemplation. Audio guides in several languages are available. Closed on Mondays.
