True to the Gandhian philosophy of serving others, the statue of the Father of the Nation at Parliament House in New Delhi doubles up as a waterhole for birds. The camera captured brown-headed green Barbets and a parrot waiting their turn to quench their thirst from the rain water pool that had collected between the hands of the meditating Mahatma.
The16-feet high bronze statue was sculpted by Ram Sutar, and unveiled by former President of India, Dr. Shanker Dayal Sharma on October 2, 1993.
