Sindhuligadhi War Museum, Military museum in Kamalamai, Nepal.
Sindhuligadhi War Museum is a military museum in the Bagmati Province that displays warfare artifacts, weapons, and historical documents related to Nepal's military history. The collection is housed in a dedicated facility built to hold these materials and research resources for visitors and students.
The museum is located near the site of a major 1767 battle between Gurkha forces and British troops that resulted in a significant military victory for Nepal. This engagement became a pivotal moment in the region's history and remains important to local identity.
The building incorporates Mithila art patterns into its design, reflecting local artistic traditions that visitors notice in the decorative elements. Regional architectural features shape how the interior spaces feel and how people move through the galleries.
The museum offers guided tours to help visitors understand the collections and their historical context more clearly. An on-site library allows those interested in deeper study to access additional research materials about Nepal's military past.
This was the first dedicated war museum established in Nepal, marking a significant step in how the country preserves its military history. Four statues on the grounds honor the commanders who led the resistance against the British campaign.
