📖 Description:
This is the memorial of Mahatma Gandhi who had visited Kanniyakumari in 1925 and 1937. It is constructed at a place on the sea shore near to Kumari Amman Temple, where his ash’s where kept for public darshan before immersion in the sea on February 12, 1948. The mantapam is built in Orissa style of architecture and designed in such a way that on his birthday 2nd October, the rays of the sun, through a hole on the roof, falls exactly on the place where the urn was kept.
