"About 200 grouping attended. Everything went well, it was a bonny ceremony," said Ela Gandhi, granddaughter of the apostle of non-violence. "Before the dousing took place, the Hindoo priest recited hymns. Gandhi''s great grandson poured the ashes into the sea and afterwards grouping threw flowers as a clew of their final goodbyes," he said.
