Delhi has good statues all around but one of the best statues representing the Father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi, the national movement and the spirit of the times is Gyarah Murti at T-point of Sardar Patel Marg and Mother Teresa Crescent in New Delhi.

The massive glistening black sculpture by the artist Devi Prasad Roy Chowdhury shows Mahatma Gandhi leading the Dandi March during the Civil Disobedience Movement and ten persons following. While Mahatma Gandhi is a picture of resistance and determination, the ten followers which include women and persons of different faiths show different moods beautifully captured in stone by the sculptor.

The statue is a masterpiece from the great artist and shows artistically the spirit of the nation of the times and the towering leadership of the Mahatma. Even after nearly 85 years of the event and the nation winning independence in the meantime, the statue inspires everybody who looks at it.
To admire the sculpture spare a few minutes while you happen to be in the area and appreciate the artistry and the spirit of Civil Disobedience Movement.
While you are in the area admiring this magnificent sculpture, you can enjoy another iconic sculpture which is in the form of a War Memorial for Indian soldiers who fought in World War I at
Teen Murti Circle.
