Historical and cultural background

The Spirit of Gandhi

Gandhi advocated "Satyagraha" (the power of truth) for India's independence, and fought against colonial rule by the British Empire through nonviolence and civil disobedience. His ideals influenced freedom and human rights struggles around the world, and provided a major ideological foundation for figures such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela.

The portrait of Gandhi on this banknote is not just a portrait of a historical figure, but a symbol of India's spiritual heritage that will be passed on to the future.

The Magnificence of the Hampi Ruins

Hampi was the capital of the Vijayanagar Empire, which flourished from the 14th to the 16th centuries, and is home to one of India's largest collections of Hindu architecture. The stone tank is part of the Vittala Temple, a work of art that tourists and scholars call the "miracle of India."
