The Indian mission said in a tweet that the program started with Gandhiji's popular bhajan, Vaishnava Jana.
Gandhi Jayanti on October 2 is also marked as the International Day of Non-Violence on account of the non-violent strategy adopted by Gandhi to help India secure independence from the British colonial rule in 1947.
