Indira Gandhi Memorial Museum

Indira Gandhi Memorial Museum

In the bungalow that once served as the residence of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, you will find the Indira Gandhi Memorial Museum.

The museum marks the spot where she was assassinated on 31 October 1984. It preserves her belongings like the sari she was wearing on that fateful day. There is a collection of rare photographs that

chronicle the Nationalist movement and the Nehru–Gandhi family. Mrs Gandhi’s own photographs narrate her life from childhood days spent with the Mahatma to later days spent with her grandchildren Rahul, Priyanka and Varun. In addition, a number of rooms have been dedicated

to her son and former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, who was assassinated in May 1991. Her library and living room have been maintained just as she kept them. These rooms are not open to the public. However, they can be viewed from the gardens through windows.

The house is surrounded by a charming garden where you can hear Mrs Gandhi's speeches and see the spot where Indira Gandhi was assassinated. The spot is enclosed in a glass frame.
