Gandhi Statue and Memorial

A memorial to Mahatma Gandhi is sited within the Main Street pedestrian mall downtown at 3735 Main Street, Riverside.  The bronze sculpture is surrounded by quotes from Gandhi and others, such as "Live simply so that others may simply live".  The statue was created by Indian artists Mandan and Aruna Garge, and the architect for the memorial was the Community Design Group.  The memorial was completed in 2006 and dedicated in January 2007.  It is part of the peace or civil rights walk within the pedestrian mall and is featured in a recent video by the city of Riverside.
