The Rajiv Gandhi Memorial is a memorial located in Sriperumbudur District of Tamilnadu state, to commemorate the death of former Indian Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi. The town was the place where Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated in a bomb blast in 1991. He was killed at this place by the LTTE using a human suicide bomber while campaigning for the local Loksabha candidate. Rajiv Gandhi is the former Prime Minister of India (1984 – 1989).
The bases of the pillars have a variety of quotes from Rajiv Gandhi etched on them and each pillar has distinct carvings of its own. On the southern part of the memorial, relief works have been fashioned on a grey granite stone wall which illustrates India’s civilization and its transformation from early time to contemporary times. ‘The Path of Light’ at the memorial portrays the final steps that were taken by Rajiv Gandhi.
