Chaitya Bhoomi, Buddhist memorial in Dadar, India
The square-shaped memorial features a small dome dividing the space into ground and mezzanine floors with marble flooring and a circular wall.
Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the architect of India's Constitution, was cremated at this location on December 7, 1956, establishing its significance as a memorial site.
The memorial includes replicas of the Sanchi Stupa gate and Ashokan pillars, along with statues of Buddha and Dr. Ambedkar within its circular walls.
Millions of visitors gather at Chaitya Bhoomi each year on December 6th to commemorate Dr. Ambedkar's death anniversary, known as Mahaparinirvan Diwas.
The memorial contains a designated resting place for Buddhist monks on its mezzanine floor, alongside a stupa that houses Dr. Ambedkar's ashes.
