Trip to Kanyakumari: Chapter 3: Mahatma Gandhi Memorial, Kanyakumari and Kamarajar Manimandapam, Kanyakumari: Part 2
Then, I went to the top of Gandhi memorial and took a photo of Thiruvalluvar Statue.

From the other side I took a snap of View tower and Kamarajar Manimandapam.

There was a children’s playground in the Gandhi memorial. In that playground there was a nice stone shell:

That’s the view of the Gandhi memorial from the playground:

After that I went inside the Gandhi memorial. There was a note written by Mahatma Gandhi inscribed in the wall along with his painting.

I am writing this at the Cape, in front of the sea, where three waters meet and furnish a sight unequalled in the world. For this is no port of call for vessels. Like the goddess, the waters around are virgin.
- 15/01/1937 MK Gandhi
Then, we saw the spot where the ashes of Mahatma Gandhi were kept on 12th February 1948 before immersion.
