We walked in, took our shoes off, and went to pay respects to India's biggest hero, at the place where he was cremated after being shot by Nathuram Godse on January 31, 1948. 10 lakh people joined the funeral procession. A simple black marble platform with the words Hey Ram on it, an eternal flame on one end. Deep respect for the great soul and we moved on to view the vistas around.
The area is full of memorials - Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Charan Singh, Vajpayee and so on. Very peaceful.
