60 years on, 'last urn' of Mahatma's ashes immersed

The Mahatma's great-granddaughter Neelam Parikh, 75, places a wreath on the urn before it left Mani Bhavan. It was Parikh, the granddaughter of the Mahatma's estranged eldest son Harilal, who scattered the ashes after the family and a few select invitees went into the sea for about a kilometer to immerse the ashes.

Feroze Khan, who made the critically acclaimed Gandhi, My Father based on the relationship between Gandhi and Harilal, was also present.
