About the National War Memorial:

• The National War Memorial was inaugurated in February 2019, in an area of around 40 acres. It was built to commemorate all the soldiers who have laid down their lives in the various battles, wars, operations and conflicts of Independent India.
• The architecture of the memorial is based on four concentric circles.
• Largest is the Raksha Chakra or the circle of protection which is marked by a row of trees, each of which represent soldiers, who protect the country.
• The Tyag Chakra, the circle of sacrifice, has circular concentric walls of honour based on the Chakravyuh. The walls have independent granite tablets for each of the soldiers who have died for the country since Independence (26,466 names as of January 2022). A tablet is added every time a soldier is killed in the line of duty.
• The Veerta Chakra, the circle of bravery, has a covered gallery with six bronze crafted murals depicting the battles and actions of our Armed Forces.
• The final is the Amar Chakra, the circle of immortality, which has an obelisk, and the eternal flame. The flame from the Amar Jawan Jyoti at the India Gate has been merged with this flame, which has been kept burning since 2019 when the memorial was unveiled. The flame is a symbol of the immortality of the spirit of the fallen soldiers.
• Busts of the 21 soldiers who have been conferred with the highest gallantry award of the country, Param Vir Chakra, are also installed at the memorial.
