Statue of Mahatma Gandhi, Bronze statue near Embassy of India, Washington DC, United States
The 8-foot bronze statue depicts Mahatma Gandhi in traditional clothing on a ruby granite base from Karnataka along Massachusetts Avenue.
The Indian Council for Cultural Relations presented this memorial in 2000, with Prime Minister Vajpayee and President Clinton attending the dedication ceremony.
The statue displays Gandhi's response to a journalist requesting his message for the world, with the words 'My life is my message' inscribed.
Three red granite slabs containing inscriptions about Gandhi stand behind the statue, with a dedicated seating area in front for visitors.
The sculpture portrays Gandhi in reference to his 1930 march against the salt tax, created by Kolkata artist Gautam Pal.
