YOU CAN NOW HEAR MAHATMA GANDHI'S 'HEARTBEAT' AT THIS MUSEUM IN INDIA

Citizens of India can now listen to the "recreated heart beats" of Mahatma Gandhi at Delhi's National Gandhi Museum. A series of programs were launched to commemorate Gandhi's 150th birth anniversary yesterday.

On the eve of Gandhi Jayanti, the museum inaugurated a special photo exhibition, based on the theme of 'Non-violence and World Peace', and released a finely-curated 'Digital Multimedia Kit', containing audio and video footages from Gandhi's life.

"We have gathered the ECG (electrocardiography) details from different stages of Gandhi ji's life and recreated his heart beat on the digital medium. This will be a very interesting feature for the public," A Annamalai, the museum director told PTI.

The 'Digital Multimedia Kit' comes in a pen drive and is available for a cost of Rs.300. "We are trying to find some sponsors for the kit, in Hindi and English, to bring down the price to Rs 100 so that it reaches to more people," said Annamalai.
