National Police Memorial, Police memorial in Chanakyapuri, New Delhi, India
The National Police Memorial in Chanakyapuri is a tribute site featuring a striking black granite sculpture at its heart. Beneath the monument lie an underground museum and a wall dedicated to those who died in service.
The memorial was created to honour police officers who died in service since India gained independence in 1947. It documents policing in India from ancient times through to the present day.
The underground museum displays 2000 years of Indian policing history, from Kautilya's system in 310 BCE through modern law enforcement methods.
The site is centrally located in New Delhi and easy to reach for visitors planning to spend time exploring the galleries. Wear comfortable shoes since you will walk through several exhibition spaces.
The central granite work was carved from a single stone block, with water motifs at its base symbolizing the ongoing dedication of the force. Visitors often overlook this artistic detail until looking more closely.
