22nd of August 2019 happens to be Madras Day .Chennai derived from thevoriginal name Cheena Pattinum , was once officially known as Madras during the British rule in India . To commomorate this day, I thought it was fit to write about the War memorial in Chennai , located at the beginning of Marina Beach Road , now formally rechristened as Kamarajar Salai after the Late first CM of Madtas Shri Kamaraj . Victory war memorial also known as Cupid's Bow was contructed to commomorate the victory of the allied forces during world war I, that happenned between 1912 to 1917. It later also became the memorial for world war II as well and that took place between 1939 to 1945. This addirion to the first , was primarily to honour the brave soldiers, who hailed from the Madras Presidency and who lost their lives . In those days of the British rule .the Madras presidency also included , what is now known as Andhra pradesh state Its another story that in later years to this memorial was added inscriptions of 1948 Kashmir Aggression, 1962 War with China and the Indo-Pakistan War . To the East of this memorial lies the Chennai port extention and to the North is situated, The Fort St George- The seat of power for the British as well for the successive Goverment of Tamil.Nadu state . The Island parade ground, owned by the army lies to the west and this ground is mainky used for conductiong many exhibitions., The main being the Pongal festival exhibition that is arranged each year by the Government .This exhibition attracts huge crowds from all over city and the state . The Famous Marina Road or Kamarajar Salai , begins with this memorial. It is siruated in the middle of the road that bifurcates into Flag staff Road that leads to Fort suburban Railway staion and the other called North Beach Road that leads to Fort St George and further on to North Madras or north Chennai . Ths memorial is landscaped beautifully and well.maintained and in spite of heavy traffic its pretty quite inside . This victory memorial.has become one of the main land mark in long and chequered history of Chennai which again was derived from.Chenna Pattinum during East India days that carved out of Area under The Nawab of Arcot during the British era in India .

Wonderful place, must visit to see the sacrifices of martyrs . It is located to the south of Fort St. George and marks the beginning of the 13-km-long Marina beach . Memorial for Martyrs those who laid down their lives in the World War I and WWII and Kargil wars. . The tall flag hoisted there brings you goosebumps for sure, very protected place and We can see army guards on each security point. . I saw martyrs family members visit on their birthdays or special occasions and could see flowers on the memorial . Each Inscriptions has a list of martyrs died in that war . Each side of the stupa has Tamil, Telugu Urudu and English written on it

War memorial

A must visit place, to pay tribute to our warriors. Taking children to such places is very important to teach them what destruction to lives and property can be caused by wars and also to show how several heroic people have sacrificed their lives for the country.

The War Memorial is really beautiful. Although people aren't allowed to enter it's premise but they can just take pictures from the outside circle around the main road. Still it was a memorable experience to be there.

Saw it yesterday on my way back from the station, beautiful structure. Memorial to the the soldier who protect our Country.

What a design and what a structure simple super so patriotic scenarios if you visit that surroundings just opposite chennai port office. And midst of signal point on main road and almost 2kms from chennai central railway station and so neat and well protected by the staff the surrounding walls I mean some chains rounded this place. It is written 1938 and 1945 the war period memories. The stone's color is so unique and as the morning sun rays falls on that memorial pillar it's so bright and blowing with beautiful coloring and so photogenic and at the ground level ap Greene the park type they maintained.

Not much to see here. But you get names of many martiers died in the wars

Beautiful place that's tidy, clean, well-kept, and well-organised... As a patriotic ambience, this place symbolizes our nation's spirit... A 10 minute drive by OLA Auto is necessary to reach Asia's largest Marina Beach that is only 7 to 8 minutes from MGR Chennai Central Railway Station. Victory War Memorial is surrounded by Indian Army Regional Headquarters, Indian Navy Base Camp (INS Adyar), Chennai Port and Central Inter-Service Battalion, and the CISF office and mess.

The victory war memorial place was very nice. And the place was under the control of the army so they don't allow it to be near to see

Pleasent place.... Early morning time was soo pleasent for walking , Bycycling. Near to Merina Beach. Afternoon times will be a little hot. Buses , Autos , bikes and ola , Uber service also available.

The mark of bravery Chennai. It's hold the hidden sacrifice of our early soldiers. This place is just near to beach and RBI and behind which a seasonal amusement park is located. Overall it's a good time to spend along with families

First of all, you are NOT WELCOME here. The public is not allowed to come close, you can see only from the roadside with heavy traffic. Forget it.

This is a small open park place to see but you are not allowed to enter and step onto the grass area. I feel it’s Not much fascinating

Victory War Memorial is a memorial in chennai near to the beach.It gives us pride and stands as a pillar of memory of all the lives lost in the wars during the world War I and II from the Madras presidency

5-10 minutes are enough to explore this place. Nothing much here.

Really a great place giving the memories and sacrifice by oru people for the war

A nice peaceful place now a traffic go around island... Built in memory of WW I 1914 Victory...

Lest we forget. A good reminder of the ultimate sacrifice that our men in uniform did for our country. Although it's a busy road you should stop by admire the beauty of this place and pay homage to the martyrs. It also hosts wreath laying ceremony on special occasions.

It was my luck to visit this place since it is an restricted area to public and opened just for four days from 16th dec to 19th dec very proud of our soldiers 🇮🇳🇮🇳

Visited to pay homage to those army personnel who died and wounded during Indo/Pak/Bangladesh war. Place is decorated for the celebration of 50 th year of victory over Pakistan.
