His last words 'He Ram' are inscribed on the platform which lies at the centre of a serene garden. Prayers are conducted on each Friday, the day he was killed. Adjacent to the cremation ground is Gandhi Memorial Museum. Gandhiji's belongings such as a pair of spectacles, wooden sandals, spinning wheel etc. are the valuable possessions kept here.
