NATIONAL WAR MEMORIAL

About National War Memorial

The National War Memorial in Delhi, inaugurated in 2019, is a solemn tribute to the Indian armed forces' valor and sacrifice. Located near India Gate, it comprises four concentric circles symbolizing the Army, Navy, Air Force, and the support services. The central obelisk, Amar Chakra, signifies the immortality of the soldiers' spirit. Walls of Valour bear the names of over 25,000 martyrs, evoking profound respect and remembrance.

The Veerta Chakra honors gallantry awardees. The Tyag Chakra features a eternal flame, symbolizing the sacrifice of the soldiers. A museum and a memorial garden further enrich the site's significance. It serves not only as a homage to the brave, but also as an educational platform for visitors to understand the nation's military history. The memorial stands as a testament to India's gratitude and commitment to preserving the memory of those who laid down their lives in service to the nation.
