The beautiful Gandhi Memorial completed in 1956 is situated here as a memorial to "Father of the Nation", the memorial is a good example of modern architecture. An urn containing Gandhiji's ash is kept here for public to pay homage, Architecture of the building allows sun rays to fall on the exact spot, where the urn was kept on 2nd October, Mahatma Gandhi's birthday. It resembles an Orissan temple. Built in memory of Gandhiji, the memorial is good example of modern architecture. Here, the last remains of Gandhiji are kept for public viewing. Next to the Kumari Amman Temple, this striking memorial stored the Mahatma's ashes until they were immersed in the sea.
