Amsterdam_XXXThe statue of Mahatma Gandhi on Churchill-laan was created by sculptor Karel Gomes and placed in 1️⃣9️⃣9️⃣0️⃣.<br> <br> Its location is symbolic, as Churchill and Gandhi were political opponents. Churchill once called Gandhi a ‘half-naked fakir’ but later sent his condolences after Gandhi crossed over to the other side. 👼 <br> <br> The statue shows a humble Gandhi,walking in a dhoti and sandals, holding a staff and a book. A colorful stone pattern leading to the statue symbolizes the unity of opposites he sought during his life. ☮️✝️✡️☪️🕉️☸️💟🤟<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Amsterdam?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Amsterdam</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/streetart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#streetart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photo?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photo</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/urbanart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#urbanart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mahatma?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mahatma</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mokum?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mokum</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/xxx?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#xxx</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/art?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gandhi?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gandhi</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/india?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#india</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/greatsoul?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#greatsoul</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/churchilllaan?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#churchilllaan</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bronze?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bronze</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/hero?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hero</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/artiseverywhere?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#artiseverywhere</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/publicart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#publicart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/streetphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#streetphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/peace?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#peace</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/unity?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unity</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/escultura?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#escultura</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/karelgomes?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#karelgomes</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/beeld?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beeld</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/citylife?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#citylife</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sculpture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sculpture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/arte?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#arte</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/artwork?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#artwork</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/churchill?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#churchill</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/civilrights?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#civilrights</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/justice?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#justice</a>
