Prime Minister’s memorials



No common place for Memorial is designated for Prime ministers as different PMs have different places for memorial. Eg. When Nehru died, in May 1964, a space adjoining Raj Ghat was earmarked for his last rites and his memorial named Shanti Van whereas the memorial of Morarji Desai, called Narayan Ghat is at Ahmedabad. Also, V P Singh does not even have an official memorial.
Delhi Memorials (most are in Delhi):
Mahatma Gandhi → Raj Ghat: "Gandhi was the Father of the Nation, the King (Raj) of simplicity."
Jawaharlal Nehru → Shanti Van: "Nehru dreamed of peaceful (Shanti) gardens (Van)."
Lal Bahadur Shastri → Vijay Ghat: "Shastri's victory (Vijay) in war is remembered."
Indira Gandhi → Shakti Sthal: "Indira's strength (Shakti) as a leader."
Rajiv Gandhi → Vir Bhumi: "Rajiv, the brave (Vir) leader, rests here."
Charan Singh → Kisan Ghat: "Charan Singh, champion of farmers (Kisans)."
Chandra Shekhar → Jannayak Sthal: "Chandra Shekhar, the leader (Nayak) of people (Jan)."
Atal Bihari Vajpayee → Sadaiva Atal: "Atal, forever steadfast (Sadaiva)."
V. Narasimha Rao → Gyan Bhumi: "Narasimha, the scholar (Gyan)."
Ahmedabad Memorials:
Gulzarilal Nanda → Abhay Ghat: "Gulzarilal, a fearless (Abhay) leader."
Morarji Desai → Narayan Ghat: "Morarji, inspired by Narayan ideals."
Other Delhi Memorials (combine in pairs for simplicity):
Giani Zail Singh → Ekta Sthal: "Unity (Ekta) symbolized by Zail Singh."
Shankar Dayal Sharma → Karma Bhumi: "Sharma's dedication (Karma)."
Jagjivan Ram → Samata Sthal: "Equality (Samata) championed by Jagjivan Ram."
Devi Lal → Sangharsh Sthal: "Devi Lal’s struggle (Sangharsh) for farmers."
K. R. Narayanan → Uday Bhumi: "Narayanan, a rising (Uday) leader."
India’s first President Rajendra Prasad has a memorial in Patna (he belonged to Bihar) called Mahaprayan Ghat. Dr B R Ambedkar’s memorial called Chaitya Bhoomi is located next to Dadar Chowpatty in Mumbai.




Trick To Remember:
Imagine a procession in Delhi:

Gandhi (Raj) leads, followed by Nehru (Shanti), Shastri (Victory), Indira (Strength), and Rajiv (Bravery).
Charan (Farmer) and Chandra (Leader) join.
At the end, Atal (Forever) and Rao (Knowledge) close the march.
Then think of Ahmedabad:
Nanda (Fearless) stands tall, and Morarji (Narayan) reflects devotion.
