Museum Introduction
Located in Kartarpur, Jalandhar, this mega-project was established by the Government of Punjab to commemorate the contributions and sacrifices made by the Punjabi community during the Indian independence movement. Spread across 25 acres, the memorial serves as a repository of the region's revolutionary history, from the early resistance against the British to the final achievement of freedom in 1947.
