Visit the Memorial for the Brave at INA Museum, Moirang
If you're a history enthusiast or a patriotic traveler, a visit to the INA Museum and Memorial in Moirang, Manipur is a must. This sacred site stands as a powerful symbol of courage, commemorating the efforts of the Indian National Army (INA) led by Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose in India's fight for independence.
Located in Moirang, the museum houses a striking statue of Netaji, along with rare wartime memorabilia from the Battle of Imphal—including bayonets, helmets, rifles, and other military artifacts. What makes Moirang especially significant is that it was here that the Indian national flag was first hoisted on Indian soil by the INA, marking a defining moment in the freedom movement.
Beyond its emotional and historical weight, Moirang also serves as a gateway to some of Manipur’s most scenic attractions. You can explore the Shirui Hills, known for the rare Shirui Lily, relax by the serene Zailad Lake, or take a drive to Senapati, a district famous for its vibrant tribal culture and lush landscapes.
