A trip to the classic sites

| Raj Ghat - memorial to Mahatma (Great Soul) Gandhi. An eternal flame marks where his body last rested before his cremation. |

| Birla Temple. Built in the 1930's by a major Indian Industrialist (think Rockefeller or Carnegie). He was a friend of Ganhi's and built the first caste-free temple in India. Gandhi attended the opening. Nancy has a Birla descendent in her class. |
