The Gandhi memorial is built in a unique Orissa style of architecture. The central shape of the Gandhi memorial is 79 feet high, representing the age of Mahatma Gandhi. The most remarkable feature is that the memorial is built in such a way that on 2nd October, the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, the sun rays falls through the hole at the top of the building, on the exact spot (a small stone pillar) where his ashes were kept before immersion. The Gandhi Memorial was completed in 1956. Inside the memorial, you can see many photographs of Mahatma Gandhi taken at various times and also Mahatma Gandhi with other Famous Personalities. The Gandhi memorial is a popular tourist spot in Kanyakumari and is situated nearby to Kumari Amman Temple. Everyone should visit the Gandhi Memorial to complete the tour of Kanyakumari.
