Indira Gandhi Memorial Museum

The residence of the former Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi, where her own bodyguards assassinated her on 31st October 1984 was converted into a museum after her assassination. Indira Gandhi Memorial Museum preserves the personal belongings very well and in such a manner that they are rendered alive by merely their presentation. One can see the sari she was wearing when she was assassinated, a collection of rare photographs recording the Nationalist movement and the personal moments of the Nehru-Gandhi family and her childhood photographs with the Mahatma. The charming garden is unfortunately also the one where she was assassinated. Here, one can hear Mrs. Gandhi's speeches from megaphones hidden in the bushes. Dried blood spots can be seen enclosed in a glass frame at the spot, where Mrs. Gandhi was assassinated.
