Reviews Of Shaheed Minar

Kolkata, West Bengal, India
Victory Column: Shaheed Minar, originally known as the Ochterlony Monument, is a towering pillar located on the Maidan. It was erected in 1828 to commemorate the victory of Major General Sir David Ochterlony in the Anglo-Nepalese War. The monument is 48 meters (157 feet) high and stands as a unique architectural specimen at the corner of Esplanade. In 1969, the monument was rededicated to the martyrs of the Indian independence movement and renamed Shaheed Minar (Martyrs' Tower). Historically, the ground surrounding the minar has been the site of massive political rallies and public meetings, earning it the nickname "Brigade Ground." Famous leaders like Rabindranath Tagore and Jawaharlal Nehru have addressed crowds here. The monument was famously called the "cloud-kissing monument" by the author Mark Twain during his visit to the city. Its location makes it a central landmark, visible from several parts of the city. The tower has a winding staircase inside that leads to two balconies offering a panoramic view of the city’s skyline. After years of restricted access, it has been renovated with modern lighting that illuminates the pillar in different colors at night. It stands as a symbol of the city's transition from a colonial outpost to a hub of democratic expression and patriotic remembrance.
