A string of events marked the death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi at the Sabarmati Ashram on Thursday which culminated with the classical music rendition by vocalist Niraj Parekh on Thursday evening. The ashram organized several events in the memory of Bapu in the last five days starting with the interaction and a talk by historian and author Ramchandra Guha and SEWA founder Ela Bhatt.
Events keep Mahatma’s spirit alive
Sabarmati Ashram was Mahatma Gandhi’s home from 1917 till 1930, when he set out on the Dandi March. The Ashram observes his death anniversary, on January 30, every year as “Nirvana Divas”. The day is marked by a prayer meeting followed by a talk. Rajni Bakshi, Senior Gandhi Peace Fellow at Gateway House, was honoured to be chosen to speak on the occasion this year
