A tower of remembrance
Standing in a green park in the heart of Imphal, the Shaheed Minar is the city's memorial to those who sacrificed their lives for Manipur and the nation. Its clean white tower and eternal flame make it one of the most recognisable landmarks of the capital.
For visitors, the minar is both a place of quiet reflection and a lovely spot for photography — especially in the evening, when the monument is softly illuminated against the dusk sky.
