Coimbatore: Thangavel from Coimbatore, offered prayers at a temple of Mahatma Gandhi in the Saravanampatti area of Coimbatore on the occasion of Independence Day. It is to be noted that Thangavel himself built the temple.

He said, "I constructed this temple in 1993. I am very influenced by the principles of Gandhiji."

Thangavel decorated the temple with the photographs of freedom fighters. Iconic Tamil poet Thiruvalluvar's statue also stands near Gandhi's statue at the temple.

The 74th Independence Day function was relatively muted this year in terms of participation of people in view of the COVID-19 crisis.
