Kargil War Memorial, War memorial in Dras, India.
The Kargil War Memorial stands near Tiger Hill with a central sandstone wall featuring brass plates engraved with names of fallen soldiers.
The memorial commemorates Operation Vijay of 1999, when Indian forces reclaimed territories occupied by Pakistani troops across the Line of Control.
Every July 26, India celebrates Kargil Victory Day with ceremonies at the memorial, where families and veterans gather to honor military sacrifices.
The memorial includes the Captain Manoj Pandey gallery displaying military artifacts, photographs, and a collection of wartime equipment from the conflict.
From the memorial grounds, visitors can see Tololing Heights, Tiger Hill, and Point 4875, the actual battlefields of the Kargil War.
