Shona
Jain, an architect from Mumbai, designed this Shaurya Smarak to showcase
the courage, bravery, and sacrifice of our Army, Air Force, and Navy. Visitors
flock here to pay homage through its intricate chambers and the sacred Garbha
Griha (altar room), poignant reminders of their tireless service to our nation.
The
62-foot Shaurya Stambh symbolises triumph over death. The screw-style tower, built with granite stones, is a tribute to the heroes of our Defence
personnel. The red spot at its base symbolises the bloodshed in service.
UNDERGROUND
MUSEUM
Descend into the underground museum at the memorial, where several galleries pay homage to valiant warriors who braved conflicts with Pakistan and China, offering glimpses into the realm of warfare through exquisite models of warships, submarines, and aircraft. There are also dedicated galleries showcasing the different ranks and badges of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. If you are an ardent learner, this will provide you with interesting insights into the world of military insignias.

One of the most compelling exhibits in the museum recreates the freezing temperature of the Siachen Glacier. This unique feature allows visitors to gain a first-hand understanding of the harsh conditions and challenging terrains faced by soldiers in the Siachen war zones, creating a truly immersive and educational experience at the war memorial.
Moving
displays of soldiers' actual footwear serve as poignant reminders of their
selflessness and unwavering dedication, while the 37-foot bronze-cast Bharat
Mata statue stands tall in reverence to India and its people.
