The exhibition includes displays derived from classical Indian symbols such as the spinning wheel, turning [[prayer wheel]]s, touching symbolic pillars, the act of hands touching sacred objects, and collaboratively constructed [[quilt]]s. It embellishes the life of Gandhi in rhythmic with photographs, paintings, film footage, and video clips.
