Statue of Mahatma Gandhi (San Francisco)

Near the northeast side of the San Francisco Ferry Building, a bronze figure of Mohandas Gandhi stands in mid-stride. Dedicated on October third, nineteen eighty-eight, the eight-foot sculpture shows Gandhi holding a walking stick and wearing his signature wire-rimmed glasses. It was a gift from the Gandhi Memorial International Foundation, with artists Zlatko Paunov and Steven Lowe placing him here to face the bay, a choice meant to honor his nineteen thirty Salt March to the sea.
