Chattri, War memorial on South Downs, Brighton and Hove, England.
The white marble dome structure stands on eight pillars above a square base, with three granite blocks marking the locations of funeral pyres.
The memorial honors Indian soldiers who died in Brighton hospitals during World War I and were cremated at this location between 1914 and 1915.
The memorial incorporates elements of traditional Indian architectural design, featuring a domed chattri structure that reflects the heritage of the commemorated soldiers.
Visitors reach the memorial through a marked 3.2-kilometer walking path from Patcham Place YHA bus stop, crossing farmland with occasional guided tours available.
The memorial serves as the only known First World War monument in Britain that specifically commemorates cremated Hindu and Sikh soldiers.
