The museum was first opened in Mumbai, shortly after Gandhi was assassinated in 1948. It was later moved to Raj Ghat in 1961. The library at the Gandhi Museum not only showcases Gandhi's work to the public but also serves as a place for general study. The books are divided into two sections, those written by or about Gandhi and books on other subject matters. The gallery has a large number of paintings and personal items of Gandhi. The most notable items in the collection are a Satyagraha woodcut, one of Gandhi's walking sticks, the shawl and dhoti worn by Gandhi when he was assassinated and one of the bullets that were used to kill Gandhi and his urn.

A circular stepwell
Just in front of the step pyramid of Hawa Mahal lies the circular stepwell. Delhi has a number of stepwell but the one at Feroz Shah Kotla is unique as it is the only circular stepwell in Delhi. Sadly the stepwell is kept under lock and key and interiors are not accessible.

A three stage steeped pyramid with the Ashokan Pillar at the top
Hawa Mahal or Kushk-i-Shikar lies on the northern end of the citadel and is crowned with the Ashokan Pillar (Minar-e-Zarreen). It is built with a central solid core and vaulted cells around it. Stairs at the corners lead to the uppermost terrace where the Ashokan pillar is planted. The pillar was originally from Topar in Ambala. It was shifted to the present location by Feroz Shah Tughlaq. The pillar has inscription in the Prakrit language. Stairs lead to the very top of the stepped pyramid providing close views of the inscription of the pillar along with a bird's eye view of the entire complex and beyond.
