Shahid Gate, Memorial gate in Sundhara, Kathmandu, Nepal

The white stone gate displays five statues, including four prominent martyrs who fought against the Rana regime in the early 20th century.

The monument was inaugurated on April 13, 1961, by King Mahendra, who initially named it Nepal Smarak before it became known as Shahid Gate.

The memorial honors four national heroes: Dharma Bhakta Mathema, Gangalal Shrestha, Dashrath Chand, and Shukraraj Shastri through detailed stone sculptures.

Visitors can reach the monument by taking local transportation to Sundhara district, where the gate stands at the intersection of major streets.

In 2012, authorities relocated the statue of King Tribhuvan from the top of the gate to Narayanhiti Museum, leaving only the martyrs' statues.
