Bapu Tower is a state-of-the-art monument dedicated to the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi. Standing tall at 120 feet with a stunning circular, eco-friendly design, its outer wall is covered with 42,000 kg of copper. Over time, the copper will naturally react with air and turn beautiful shades of green! Inside, visitors can travel through Gandhi's timeline from his birth in 1869, his struggle for justice in South Africa in 1893, his pioneering Satyagraha in Champaran, Bihar in 1917, up to 1948.
