The Martyrs Memorial

About The Martyrs Memorial

The Martyrs' Memorial in Chandigarh stands as a solemn tribute to the brave souls who sacrificed their lives during the  1947 Partition, and India’s emergence from nearly two centuries of British rule. This poignant monument in Chandigarh stands as a solemn reminder of the indomitable spirit and unwavering dedication of these martyrs in their fight for freedom and independence. The memorial has a square enclosure, inscribing abstract Indian symbols, with one side elongated into a ramp. When one walks up this ramp, the beautiful new vistas of the Capitol Complex buildings can be seen from an elevated level.
