Gandhi Memorial

Gandhi Memorial
Kanyakumari-2143_8.JPG
Built to commemorate the memory of Mahatma Gandhi, this memorial has been built on the very spot where the urn containing Mahatma's ashes was kept for public viewing before the immersion.

The memorial resembles an Orissa temple and is designed in such a manner that on 2nd October which is Gandhiji's birthday, the sun's rays fall on the exact place where his ashes were kept. Its central shape measures 79 feet which incidentally was the Mahatma's age too.
