Chennai: Jayalalithaa was laid to rest at the Marina Beach here on Tuesday evening with her confidante Sasikala performing the final rituals overseen by a Brahmin priest.

After this, her tricolour-draped body in a sandalwood casket was lowered into a grave near the MGR memorial. 

Jayalalithaa's last journey started from Rajaji Hall, where lakhs thronged for a final look at her and slowly reached Marina Beach flooded with mourners.
