The
Victoria
Memorial
is
a
huge
marble
building
built
around
the
early
20th
century
and
dedicated
to
the
memory
of
Queen
Victoria.
At
present
it
is
a
Museum
showcasing
artefacts
of
the
British
era
and
is
a
popular
tourist
destination.
People
from
all
over
India
come
here
to
see
the
beautiful
marble
structure
and
statues
as
well
as
the
British
era
dresses,
arts
and
documents
housed
within
the
museum.
Local
people
also
spend
their
evenings
in
the
Garden
around
the
Memorial
Hall.
The
garden
around
the
museum
hall
is
a
safe
place
for
local
couples
seeking
some
moments
of
solitude.
The
entry
fee
for
only
the
garden
is
rupees
20,
for
Garden
as
well
as
the
Museum
it
is
rupees
30
for
Indians.
The
entry
fee
is
rupees
500
for
foreign
nationals
but
only
rupees
hundred
for
people
from
the
SAARC
member
countries.
The
Museum
and
the
garden
closes
at
6:00
p.m.
and
be
sure
to
get
out
by
that
time
as
any
delay
may
result
in
disciplinary
action
by
the
security
guards.
The
behaviour
of
the
security
guards
is
one
of
the
worse
you
will
see
anywhere.
I
say
this
from
my
own
personal
experience.
Camera
is
allowed
inside
free
of
cost
but
there
are
restrictions
on
the
use
of
tripod
stand.
Be
sure
to
carry
water
bottle
with
you
when
you
are
inside
as
you
may
spend
2
to
3
hours
once
you
are
inside.
You
can
carry
eatables
inside
but
please
do
not
litter
and
carry
a
small
bag
with
you
in
which
you
can
throw
the
waste.
You
will
also
find
many
dust
bins
in
the
garden
and
you
can
throw
your
waste
in
those
dustbins.
