Indira Gandhi museum

yesterday we felt like doing something cultural so we decided to go to Indira Gandhi museum....
before going shopping....


Indira was the Prime minister of India between 1966 and 1977 and again 1980 until her assassination in 1984....
did you know that she was shot to death by two of her own guards !


the spot where she became a martyr is marked by this glass plate....



the sari she wore when shot on display...



the museum is the house she lived in from 1964 up until her death in 1984....
lots of pictures and articles....  you also get a look inside some of the rooms....
I found the park, garden surrounding the house so beautiful and BIG..




then we where off to shopping and bargaining.....but that's another post....
until then...enjoy the sunshine or the rain or the thunder or the snow or the beach...all depending on where you are in the world...
