Mutiny memorial is old structure build in the memories of british and Indian soilders who died during the indian rebellion of 1857. It is situated in front of Old Telegraph Building, kashmiri gate, New Delhi. Also known as Ajitgarh. Some people says that this place is a haunted place. But i can only says that the surrounding of this memorial is covered with the forest and it is obvious that in evening it feels little lonely as it is away from city traffic.

Also famous by the name Ajitgarh, Mutiny Memorial was constructed in 1863 in the memory of the brave soldiers who had fought in the Delhi field force, both Indian and British during the Indian rebellion of 1857. It is a four-tiered Gothic style building made up of red sandstone with an octagonal base. The lowest tier of the structure has seven faces that contains memorial plaques afixed on the walls engraved with the names and ranks of the soldiers who died fighting for the Britishers in this great uprising of 1857, whereas one face contains the stairs leading to the upper tier. Belonging to the British era, the Mutiny Memorial is one of the must-see places which shouldn’t be left unexplored on a Delhi tour. It was built with a motive to erect a structure taller than the Ashoka Pillar which is just 200 mts away from the main structure. The inspiring building of Mutiny memorial is set amidst lush greenery that leads one to the heritage trail starting off with the Flagstaff.
