Remembering the Mahatma
Today, we are celebrating Gandhi Jayanti to mark the birth anniversary of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, often known as Mahatma Gandhi. We are at Gandhi Statue Circle in Port Blair, where a giant golden statue of Mahatma Gandhi was established. Port Blair is the capital city of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, a union territory of India in the Bay of Bengal.
