Statue of Mahatma Gandhi

The statue is a six-foot bronze monument on the UC Davis campus showing Gandhi in his characteristic walking pose wearing traditional Indian attire. It stands in the central area of campus surrounded by pathways and green spaces.

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.

Following vandalism damage in 2023, the local community united to restore the statue. This restoration effort revealed how deeply the monument matters to the campus community.
