After a brief halt there, the Gandhis will reach the Lal Chowk City Centre to unfurl the tricolour.
The whole area around Lal Chowk has been sealed off and a multi-layer security ring deployed around the city centre.
After Lal Chowk, the yatra will travel to Nehru Park in the Boulevard area of the city, marking an end to the 4,080-km walkathon, which started from Kanyakumari on September 7 and traversed 75 districts across the country.
On Monday, Gandhi will unfurl the tricolour at the party headquarters on the M A Road here, following which a public rally will be held at the SK stadium, for which 23 opposition political parties have been invited.
