Martyr's Memorial Patna, Memorial monument at Gandhi Maidan, Patna, India.
Martyr's Memorial Patna is a monument featuring seven bronze statues arranged around a central eternal flame. The site near the Secretariat building occupies a prominent plaza with inscribed plaques identifying each figure.
The monument honors seven students who died in 1942 during the Quit India Movement while attempting to raise the national flag. The foundation stone was laid on India's independence day in 1947.
The memorial was established on India's independence day and symbolizes youth resistance against colonial rule. The inscriptions tell the stories of these students and what drove them to act.
The memorial is open to visitors throughout the year and sits in a central area of the city. The grounds are easy to navigate and allow time to read the inscribed plaques at each statue.
The bronze figures were created by sculptor Devi Prasad Roychoudhury and cast in Italy before installation. This choice reflects how India's independence struggle gained international attention and support.
