Памятник Махатме Ганди, Bronze monument in Indira Gandhi Square, Moscow, Russia.
The Mahatma Gandhi Monument is a bronze statue located in central Moscow on a public square dedicated to Indian-Russian ties. The sculpture depicts the historical figure in traditional dress, positioned to be visible from various angles as people move through the surrounding pathways.
The Indian government gifted this bronze sculpture to Moscow in 1988 to commemorate the strong diplomatic relationship between the two nations. This gift represented a milestone in Soviet-Indian cooperation and continues to symbolize that historical partnership in the city today.

The monument sits on a public square that is easily reached from several directions and served by multiple public transport options. Visitors can comfortably walk around the site and find places to stand or sit while viewing it from different positions.
