Salute Courage at the War Memorial in Amritsar
In the vibrant city of Amritsar, Punjab — a land known for its valor — the War Memorial and Museum stands tall as a testament to the unwavering courage of Indian soldiers, especially those from Punjab. The centerpiece is an iconic 45-metre stainless steel sword pointed toward the sky, symbolizing honor, strength, and selfless sacrifice.
The memorial is a must-visit for history buffs, patriots, and students alike. Divided into three historical sections — pre-British, British rule, and post-Independence — it offers an immersive experience through exhibits, artefacts, murals, and photographic archives. A particularly moving tribute is the mural commemorating Sikh soldiers who laid down their lives during the 1971 India-Pakistan War.
Whether you’re there to learn, reflect, or simply honor the memories of those who gave everything for the nation, the War Memorial is a stirring experience that stays with you long after your visit.
