About Chaitya Bhoomi
Where Dr B. R. Ambedkar was cremated in December 1956. On 6 December several lakh people come, and the locality gives itself over to them.
The site at Dadar Chowpatty where Dr B. R. Ambedkar was cremated on 7 December 1956. A stupa and memorial stand over it.
On 6 December, his death anniversary, several lakh people come from across Maharashtra and beyond. Dadar effectively hands itself over for two days: the station, the roads and the beach fill, and residents and volunteers run food and water stalls. If you are planning anything else in Dadar on those dates, plan around it.
