About
Quick facts: A simple memorial with a black plaque marks the cremation site of a major leader who shaped modern India. Every day, an eternal flame burns in a peaceful garden surrounded by trees.
Highlights: A unique practice is to light a commemorative flame every day at the exact hour of the leader's death, creating a solemn and moving ritual. The scene is enhanced by the total absence of an imposing structure. Only a polished black marble rests on the ground, reflecting the sky and surrounding trees.
