Vivekananda Ashrama to remain a heritage site


Memorable monument: The bronze statue of philosopher Swami Vivekananda stands in front of the Vivekananda Ashrama in Brickfields.

KUALA LUMPUR: The 110-year-old Vivekananda Ashrama building and its surrounding land will remain a heritage site.

Its owner failed to get leave to initiate judicial review proceedings to compel the National Heritage Department to reconsider its proposal to gazette only the building as a heritage site.
