Inaugurated on 25 February 2019, the National War Memorial honors over 25,942 soldiers who sacrificed their lives post‑Independence. The memorial is designed in concentric circles, Amar Chakra (Circle of Immortality), Veerta Chakra (Circle of Bravery), Tyag Chakra (Circle of Sacrifice), and Rakshak Chakra (Circle of Protection), symbolizing valor and remembrance. At its center stands a tall obelisk with the eternal flame (Amar Jawan Jyoti). The site is adjacent to India Gate, creating a powerful continuum of national memory. It is also a venue for ceremonial events, including wreath‑laying by dignitaries and military parades.
