Khyati Shree Instagram – I went to visit former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s residence which has been converted into a museum. Indira Gandhi lived in this house right from her tenure as a PM up until her death. Her tenure was full of hits and misses, and ultimately it was at this very residence that she took her last steps. Entry to museum is free of cost and it has a strict timing, from 9 AM to 4:45 PM. It’s a well maintained museum, the displays include rare pictures from India’s pre independence, items from her childhood, letters she wrote to Pt. Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi, her personal items, a timeline of the ups and downs from her political era shown through newspaper articles some criticising her and some celebrating her. Her son Rajiv Gandhi also spent his lifetime at this house with Sonia Gandhi and their two children, and we also get to see their life up close at this museum. It’s one of the good places to visit in Delhi, it’s a political site and must be explored with a critical mind. It was surprising to see the museum full of tourists at peak sunny hours in Delhi, many of them woman. #indiragandhi #indiragandhimemorial | Posted on 20/Jun/2024 21:53:49
