Bronze Mahatma in America's Reddesert: Gandhi in Utah's Jordan Park

Puzzling silhouette: A Gandhi statue in Utah's Jordan Park.

In Salt Lake City, Utah, US, within the heart of its landscape, there stands a lone figure. Not a human, but a bronze bust - a present from India’s government and the Consul General of 1997. Today, it inhabits India’s segment of Jordan Park’s International Peace Gardens, Salt Lake City, Utah. On May 10, 1997, the world unveiled the bust, though the symbol may seem perplexing for Muslim-Hindu unity, looks can deceive.
