Dr. J. Jayalalitha’s Samadhi behind MGR Memorial @ Marina Beach

On Friday, Dec. 09, 2016, we went to pay homage to Dr. J. Jayalalitha’s Samadhi/Memorial installed just behind MGR Samadhi/Memorial (towards the beach) at the Marina beach. They have currently erected a temporary shed over Jayalalithaa’s samadhi, but I think that will be replaced by some concrete structure later on.ย Here are some pictures from there.

Here you can find a couple of pictures of the grand dual-leaf shaped arch and the bronze pegasus at the entrance facing the Rajaji Salai main road along the beach. Vehicle parking is available at the adjacent premises, to the left of this arch.

    May she rest in peace, it seems she had a lot of following although politics is a dirty game …

    1. Rajesh K

      Yes, I guess she did have a large following. Many ppl. were benefited by her pro-poor policies.
