Daily Life In Kanyakumari

Gandhi Mandapam and the Kamarajar Mandapam (Kamarajar Memorial) in Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu, India. Built in 1956, the Gandhi Mandapam (Gandhi memorial) in Kanyakumari sits on the site where Gandhi's ashes were kept before they were scattered to the sea and features unique architectural details to honor the beloved leader's life. The Kamarajar Mandapam was built to honor Shri Kumarasami Kamaraj (known as the Black Gandhi) , the freedom fighter, a veteran political leader and the past Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu who in 1962, introduced the 'free meal scheme' in schools to encourage the poorest of the poor people to send their children to school.
