On the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, the Gandhi Vatika (Gandhi Darshan Museum) located in Central Park was inaugurated on Wednesday. According to Ravi Jain, Secretary of the Department of Tourism, Art & Culture, and Archaeology, this newly established museum attracted over a thousand visitors, including students from schools and colleges, as well as the general public, on its very first day. Visitors had the opportunity to explore the life journey of Mahatma Gandhi.
The museum showcases various phases of Gandhi’s life, including his childhood, his travels to South Africa, the historic Satyagraha movement, the Quit India Movement, and the Chauri-Chaura incident, among other pivotal moments. Ravi Jain emphasized that Gandhi Vatika will soon emerge as a major tourist attraction in Jaipur. He further added that students and visitors will be inspired by Gandhi’s life philosophy after visiting the museum.
Gandhi Vatika will be open to visitors daily from 10 AM to 5 PM, starting from Gandhi Jayanti. Moreover, throughout October 2024, entry to the museum will be free of charge, making it an ideal destination for those interested in learning more about Mahatma Gandhi’s life and legacy.
