Architecture of the Guwahati War Memorial
The beautiful park has been created brilliantly with an eye for detail. The entrance is decorated with a mighty army tank donated by Indian Army and Indian Air Force which was used in the war. A few steps further below is the excellent portrayal of the Great Sariaghat Battle between the Mughals and the Ahoms. The story is weaved around the chief warrior Lachit Barphukan and the idea is to let the people of Assam know about the sacrifices and the wars fought in order to save Assam from the enemies. There are also a few sculptures on a boat showcasing war scenes in water.
Besides this, the memorial also displays scenes from Kargil war, attack on Karachi by Indian Navy in 1971 and Sino -Indian War. A replica of ?Amar Jawan? is also present here. The memorial also has green gardens to sit and relax and has an all around environment of nationalism and patriotism.
