Aberdeen in the United Kingdom could soon have a new tribute to one of history's most respected figures. Members of the city's Hindu community have submitted plans to Aberdeen City Council to install a bust of Mahatma Gandhi in Duthie Park, one of the city's most visited green spaces.
The proposed installation includes a granite plinth, a bronze bust and a commemorative plaque. If approved, it would sit inside the floral courtyard of the David Welch Winter Gardens within the park. The bust is being gifted by the Indian Consulate in Edinburgh, and a council decision is expected later this year.
