Indira Gandhi Memorial Museum
The Indira Gandhi Memorial Museum was the residence of the former Prime Minister,
Indira Gandhi. It was in this house that she was assassinated by her own Sikh
bodyguards on 31st October 1984. The house was converted into a museum after her
assassination.
The museum conserves some of the belongings of Indira Gandhi, including the sari
she was wearing when she was assassinated. There is a collection of photographs,
which record the Nationalist movement and the Nehru-Gandhi family.
A modest bungalow, it is furnished simply and hung with photographs narrating
her life from childhood days with the Mahatma to later off-duty relaxation with
her grandchildren Rahul, Priyanka and Varun. It is surrounded by a charming
garden where you can hear Mrs Gandhi's speeches from megaphones hidden in the
bushes. It was in this garden that she was assassinated.
The spot where Indira Gandhi was assassinated is enclosed in a glass frame. One
can still see the dried blood spots.
