Memorial Museum Indira Gandhi Photo: Museum Indira Gandhi

Indira Gandhi is an incredibly important figure in the history of modern India. Memorial Museum established in her honor, located in a large, but fairly simple, white building, which was her residence at the time when she served as Prime Minister of the country. Shortly after her assassination in 1984, the house was turned into a Museum.

The exposition is quite modest in size, but there are very interesting exhibits – photos of Indira Gandhi with well-known political and public figures, as, for example, Mahatma Gandhi and Richard Nixon, documents and personal belongings. The collection talks about her life, starting from childhood. You can still see her bedroom, in which all subjects remained on the same places that in her life. One of the main pieces of the Museum is the last manuscript Indira Gandhi, as expected, written in the night before the murder, and her blood-stained saree in which she was shot by his own bodyguards.

The Museum also has an exhibition dedicated to the son of Indira Gandhi – Rajiv, in which, among other exhibits photographs taken by the politician, and burned the clothes he was wearing at the time of the bomb explosion that led to the death of Rajiv.

The memory of Indira Gandhi lives in the hearts of people, and so this memorial Museum is a very popular place, especially among Indian citizens who come there to pay homage to their beloved leader.
