Kantilal B. Patel. "Mohandas Gandhi Statue"


Artist Kantilal B. Patel created this iconic sculpture of Mohandas K. Gandhi located on the right side of Union Square Park. This sculpture is usually adorned with floral necklaces and wreaths throughout the year. Unfortunately, last year the glasses of the sculpture were stolen but were soon replaced. The sculpture was dedicated on the 117th anniversary of Gandhi's birth and was donated by the Gandhi Memorial International Foundation.

Interesting. There's a sculpture of Gandhi outside of the Wellington Train Station, Wellington, New Zealand. Gifted to New Zealand by India. The composition/pose is very similar.
