Statue of Mahatma Gandhi, Bronze statue in Parliament Square, London, United Kingdom
The nine-foot bronze sculpture depicts Mahatma Gandhi wearing traditional Indian attire with one hand raised in a gesture symbolizing peace.
The statue was unveiled on March 14, 2015, following a campaign by the Gandhi Memorial Trust and received support from British Chancellor George Osborne.
The monument stands alongside other important figures in Parliament Square, representing Gandhi's influence on civil rights movements worldwide through nonviolent resistance.
Visitors can access the statue throughout the year, with nearby public transportation options including Westminster Underground station and several bus routes.
The statue's plinth was deliberately designed lower than surrounding monuments in Parliament Square to reflect specific architectural considerations.
