Architecture of Gandhi Mandapam
Built entirely in the Orissa style of architecture, the Gandhi Memorial is a unique structure that was completed in 1956. The central most shape of the structure is 79 feet high, which symbolises the age of Gandhi. Another striking feature of this memorial lies in the construction of the structure. It has been built in such a way that on 2nd October, which is the birth date of Mahatma Gandhi, the rays of the sun pass through a hole in the top of the building, and fall on the exact spot where his ashes were placed before immersion.
