Baba Banda Singh Bahadur War Memorial Road

Baba Banda Singh Bahadur War Memorial Road is a memorial site in Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar that honors a historic Sikh military leader. The road passes through large grounds with natural mounds, warrior statues, and a 328-foot victory tower that forms the center of the complex.

The memorial marks the 1710 battle at Chappar Chiri where Banda Singh Bahadur defeated Mughal forces and established Sikh rule from Lahore to Delhi. The natural mounds on the site were key to Sikh strategy, allowing fighters to battle from elevated positions.

The road is named after a Sikh warrior whose fight shaped the region. Visitors see statues and memorials that recall his soldiers and show how this battle remains part of local identity.

Wear comfortable shoes and bring water as the grounds are large and require considerable walking. Visit in the morning or late afternoon when weather is cooler and light and sound shows take place.

The victory tower was engineered to withstand earthquakes and strong winds with an octagonal design and steel core framework. An artistic waterway nearby reflects the tower and creates a calm contrast to the warrior statues surrounding it.
