Babasaheb’s Mahaparinirvana took place at his residence in Delhi, after which his body was brought from Delhi to Mumbai and the next day, on December 7, 1956, he was cremated at Chaityabhoomi. Babasaheb’s demise was a major event in Indian history, and all over the world, paid homage to him.

Mahaparinirvan Din : 6 December 1956
Obituary in Rajya Sabha by Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, the Prime Minister of India on demise of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar
The Prime Minister (Shri Jawaharlal Nehru) :
“Mr. Deputy Chairman, I deeply regret to inform the House that a member of this House who had played a very leading part in many matters passed away a short while ago. I refer to Dr. Ambedkar. Dr. Ambedkar from many many years had been a very controversial figure in Indian public affairs, but there can be no doubt about his outstanding quality, his scholarship, and the intensity with which he pursued his convictions, sometimes rather with greater intensity that perhaps required by the particular subject, which sometimes reacted in a contrary way. But he was the symbol of that intense feeling which we must always remember, the intense feeling of the suppressed classes in India who have suffered for ages past under our previous social systems, and it is as well that we recognize this burden that all of us should carry and should always remember. It may be that some of us thought, as I have just said, that he is overdid the expression of that feeling, but I do not think that, apart from the manner of utterance or language, anybody should challenge the rightness of the intensity of his feeling in that matter which should be felt by all of us and perhaps even more so by those who have not in themselves or in their groups or classes had no suffer from that. He was that. Therefore, he became this symbol. But we in Parliament remember him for many other things and more particularly for the very prominent part he played in the making of our Constitution and perhaps this fact will be remembered even longer than his other activities. I am quite sure that every Member of this House will want us to send our Deep condolences and message of sympathy to his family and to express our deep sorrow at this demise.”
