Amar Jawan Jyoti

Amar Jawan Jyoti, War memorial at National War Memorial, India

Amar Jawan Jyoti is a memorial of a green tapered block on a reddish-brown stone base, inscribed "अमर जवान" in white on its front face. A black reversed rifle capped by a black helmet stands above the block, flanked by two gold-coloured cylindrical pillars, with a marigold wreath on the stone below. It now stands at the Amar Chakra, the inner ring of the National War Memorial.

The memorial was inaugurated in 1972 following the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 and served as the country's central military remembrance site until 2022. The flame was then merged with that of the National War Memorial to consolidate all war memorials under one symbol.

The name means "Immortal Soldier Flame". Since 1972 it was customary for the Prime Minister and the three service chiefs to lay a wreath here on Republic Day before the parade; the President did so on Independence Day and the Defence Minister on Vijay Diwas. From 2020 these ceremonies moved to the National War Memorial.

The site is accessible daily, and visitors can observe guard changes that take place at regular intervals. On public holidays and memorial days, wreath-laying ceremonies occur, attended by officials and citizens.

The flame burned continuously for 50 years at its original location near India Gate before being relocated in January 2022. The merging of the two fires was meant to unify remembrance of all fallen soldiers since independence under a single memorial.
