The
Punjab
State
War
Memorial
in
Amritsar
is
a
poignant
tribute
to
the
soldiers
from
Punjab
who
made
the
ultimate
sacrifice
in
various
wars
and
conflicts.
Visitors
often
describe
the
experience
as
deeply
moving
and
sobering,
as
they
pay
homage
to
the
bravery
and
sacrifice
of
the
soldiers.
The
memorial's
architecture
and
exhibits
serve
as
powerful
reminders
of
the
cost
of
war
and
the
importance
of
honoring
those
who
served.
Many
visitors
also
express
gratitude
for
the
opportunity
to
learn
about
Punjab's
rich
military
history
and
to
reflect
on
the
impact
of
war
on
communities
and
families.
Overall,
the
Punjab
State
War
Memorial
tour
provides
a
meaningful
and
educational
experience
for
visitors
of
all
age.
The
Memorial
is
closed
every
Monday.
The
timing
is
from
10
A.M
to
5P.M
every
day.
Punjab,
the
land
of
several
valiant
heroes
and
heroic
stories,
has
always
held
a
special
place
in
the
heart
of
the
country.
Amritsar
held
a
prominent
place
in
India's
freedom
struggle
and
was
affected
by
several
daunting
events,
such
as
the
Jallianwala
Bagh
Massacre,
Operation
Bluestar,
and
the
partition
of
India.
One
place
commemorating
the
memories
of
the
courage
of
the
state
is
the
Punjab
State
War
Heroes
Memorial
and
Museum,
Amritsar.
A
quaint
place
near
the
most
important
place
of
Amritsar,
the
Wagah
Border,
displays
everything
the
heroes
stood
for
and
more.
The
museum
is
a
popular
tourist
destination
in
Amritsar
due
to
its
proximity
to
the
international
border
between
India
and
Pakistan,
i.e.
the
Wagah
border.
In
addition
to
being
a
popular
tourist
site,
the
museum
serves
as
a
continuing
motivation
for
young
people
and
a
reminder
of
the
price
paid
for
freedom.

time
of
need.

at
the
height
of
4
metres,

operations
are
shown
in
approximately
8
galleries.

carrier
ship,

memorial's
perimeter
wall.

different
combat
zones
from
the
pre-British,
British,
and
post-independent
eras
are
reflected
in
the
landscape.

show.

a
7D
auditorium
that
allows

experience
various
battle
zones
virtually.
