Statue of Mahatma Gandhi, Bronze monument on UC Davis campus, California
The statue of Mahatma Gandhi was a bronze monument on the UC Davis campus in Davis, California, showing Gandhi in a walking pose in traditional Indian attire. It stood in the central campus area among pathways and green spaces and was removed in 2021.
The monument was established in 2015 to honor Gandhi's principles of nonviolent resistance. These ideals significantly influenced civil rights movements across the United States.
The statue serves as a meeting point where students and visitors reflect on Gandhi's ideas about peaceful change. People gather here regularly to discuss his teachings and their relevance to today's world.
The statue is located in the central area of UC Davis campus at the intersection of B Street and 3rd Street. Public parking is available nearby and the site is easily accessible on foot.
The statue stood on the UC Davis campus until 2021, when it was removed; the Wikipedia article on it is a single sentence recording that it was installed in Davis and is no longer there. Visitors looking for it today will not find it on campus.
