Lush green area with tight security around the area. One things is confusing that the Army personnel doesn't let you park your cycle at the front of the statue on the pavement. The board there says that one must not enter into the grassy area however on the pavement there is no such information. Morning sightseeing, weather and all the things were good

It's the perfect checkpoint while cycling anywhere into North/Central/South Delhi. Although traffic in the evening is thick, it's worth going by if you're headed into any of these areas as it lights but beautifully.

I was so excited to see this sculpture, my mom once told about this Dandi March statue in my childhood. A great representation of Dandi March 24-day march lasted from 12 March 1930 to 5 April 1930 as a direct action campaign of tax resistance and nonviolent protest against the British salt monopoly. Gandhi started this march with 78 of his trusted volunteers. The march spanned 220 miles (350 km), from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi, which was called Navsari at that time (now in the state of Gujarat). Growing numbers of Indians joined them along the way. When Gandhi broke the British Raj salt laws at 6:30 am on 6 April 1930, it sparked large scale acts of civil disobedience against the salt laws by millions of Indians. No parking place available and we cannot stop our vehicles. 5-10 minutes is enough to take photos and visit this place.

Beautiful place and a reminder of freedom struggle. It is on Mother Teresa crescent behind President estate near gate number 26.
