About Gandhi Jayanti

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born in Porbandar, Gujarat, on October 2, 1869. With Republic Day and Independence Day, his birthday is one of the three national days that every state and union territory keeps as a holiday. Leaders lay flowers at Raj Ghat in Delhi, where he was cremated, and prayer meetings sing bhajans such as "Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram".

Volunteers and officials often clean streets and parks, a habit pushed by the Swachh Bharat clean India drive, which began on this day in 2014. Lal Bahadur Shastri shares the birthday. In 2007 the UN named October 2 the International Day of Non-Violence.
