Gandhi Hill, Vijayawada, Memorial park on Gandhi Hill in Vijayawada, India

The memorial complex rises 500 feet above sea level, featuring a 52-foot-tall monument of Mahatma Gandhi and a museum with historical photographs.

Built in 1968, the Gandhi Hill memorial was inaugurated by President Zakir Husain to commemorate India's independence movement and Gandhi's contributions.

The memorial stone displays inscriptions of Gandhi's teachings and maintains a library dedicated to his philosophy of non-violence and civil disobedience.

Visitors can reach the summit via a miniature train service installed by Indian Railways in 1969, making it accessible for all age groups.
