About this audio guide
This guide to the Indira Gandhi Memorial Museum in Delhi returns to the morning of October 31, 1984, when a British actor was setting up cameras next door to interview the prime minister, and Indira Gandhi crossed her garden in a Sambalpuri sari toward the gate. It traces the army's operation at the Golden Temple months earlier and the two bodyguards waiting at that gate. Walk that same path slowly; the last stretch is preserved under crystal glass.
