Mohandas K. Gandhi, Bronze statue at Ferry Building in San Francisco, United States
The eight-foot bronze statue of Mohandas K. Gandhi stands on a stone base near the San Francisco Ferry Building along the Embarcadero waterfront.
Artists Zlatko Paunov and Steven Lowe created this memorial statue in 1988, which was presented to San Francisco by the Gandhi Memorial International Foundation.
The statue placement by the waterfront references Gandhi's Salt March, connecting the maritime location to his nonviolent resistance against British colonial rule.
Visitors can find the statue at the intersection of Market Street and The Embarcadero, adjacent to the weekly farmers market near the Ferry Building.
The statue's glasses and walking stick require frequent replacement due to repeated theft, with each pair of replacement glasses costing approximately 1,100 dollars.
