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.
