Unto the Last

This bronze statue of Mahatma Gandhi with a child at Aga Khan Palace in Pune is a very rare depiction of Gandhi who is usually shown seated with a charkha or in a pose of meditation or thought. Note that he isn't wearing glasses. The title of the statue is Unto the Last (translated into Antyodaya in Hindi), named after the book by John Ruskin that Gandhi translated in 1908 into Gujarati. It's named Sarvodaya (Well Being for All). Like most museums in India, the visitor here is left amazed at this wonderful life-size creation that bears no name of the sculptor on the statue. #gandhi #mahatmagandhi #pune #agakhanpalace #sculptures #museums
