Gandhi Jayanti

A day that reminds us how simplicity can move mountains—Gandhi Jayanti celebrates the power of truth and non-violence. Recognised as one of the three national holidays in India, it also carries global significance as the United Nations has observed it since 2007 as the International Day of Non-Violence.
