This bright pink Gandhi memorial was built so that sunshine hits a specific spot on his birthday. Sunlight shines through an opening in the ceiling and on October 2nd, falls on the exact spot where his ashes sat for a mourning event.

    Ankit Srivastava I hacked that key. :)... But sadly enough I let the portal die when I uninstalled ingress. :'(
