Gandhi Mandapam (Chennai) Explained

Gandhi Mandapam is a series of memorial structures built on Sardar Patel Salai, in Adyar, Chennai.[1] [2] [3] The first structure to be built on the premises was a memorial to Mahatma Gandhi, opened by then Chief Minister of Madras, C. Rajagopalachari on 27 January 1956. Later, four other memorials for independence activist Rettamalai Srinivasan and former chief ministers C. Rajagopalachari, K. Kamaraj and M.
