HOW CAN MAN DIE BETTER,
THAN FACING FEARFUL ODDS
FOR THE ASHES OF HIS FATHER
AND THE TEMPLES OF HIS GOD.
This war memorial commemorates the bravery of the indian heros of the INDO-SINO WAR 1962...it is also known as NAMGYAL CHORTAN in local language as the structure is designed as a STUPA.The war memorial is blessed by DALAI LAMA in 1997 who sent holy scriptures and idols of Arya Avlokiteshwara and Lord Buddha.
It has names of 2420 dead soldiers etched in gold on 32 black granite plaques.
A war bunker.....there are countless bunkers one notices if travels by road.
