This is a memorial that is dedicated to the memory of Mahatma Gandhi. After his demise, his ashes were collected in 12 urns and sent to different parts of the country for the public to pay homage before immersion. One such urn was brought to Kanyakumari for the ashes to be immersed at the confluence of the Bay of Bengal, the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea. It has several pictures, portraits and photographs of the Mahatma taken or made during various phases of his life. It is beautifully maintained, but it is a pity that the surroundings, when I visited in 2016, weren't as clean as the memorial. The USP of the construction of this Mandapam is, it is so designed that, on the Mahatma's birthday on October 2, the sun's rays are made to fall, through a hole in the ceiling, exactly at the spot where the urn containing his ashes was kept for public homage.

Mahatma Gandhi Mandapam is very near to Kanyakumari beach, built in the honor of Gandhiji(our father of the nation). The view of the Sea and Thiruvalluvar statue from upstairs of Gandhi Mandapam looks wonderful. Admiring feature here is that the building is constructed in the way that, on 2nd October (Birth Day of Gandhiji) sunlight falls exactly on the place where his ashes are kept. Not much crowded! No Entry Fee!!

Very nice place any body visited likeBUILT IN 1956, THE GANDHI Mandapam in Kanyakumari, India sits on the site where the famed pacifist’s ashes were kept before they were scattered to the sea and features unique architectural details to honor the beloved leader’s life. After Indian nationalist Mahatma Gandhi was tragically assassinated in 1948 his remains were cremated and sent to various parts of the country to honor various mourning events. One such place was the town of Kanyakumari where a portion of his ashes were put on display before being ritually deposited in the sea. After the ashes were removed, a memorial mandapam (a pillared structure used for public ritual) was built on the site where his ashes had rested. The structure was even built to very specific dimensions just to honor the man. The central spire of the pink facade stands exactly 79 feet high in honor of Gandhi’s age at his death. The most remarkable feature however is an opening in the ceiling of the building which is position in such a way that each October 2nd, the anniversary of Gandhi’s birthday, the sunlight that comes through it falls on the exact spot where his ashes sat.
