This integrated memorial complex, designed by renowned architect Raj Rewal is aimed at disseminating knowledge about the rich cultural heritage of the State of Punjab and unparallel sacrifices made by its brave hearts for India's independence.

The site, which falls on the Jalandhar-Amritsar national highway, was carefully selected by the State Government keeping in mind it's easy accessibility to visitors and to add another tourist destination for those on their way to the Golden Temple.

The concept of the Jang-e-Azadi memorial and museum is based on a circular enclosure which houses the focal centre of the memorial and integrates it with a harmonious ensemble of galleries amplifying the struggle and sacrifice for freedom around a ceremonial path.

The Jang-e-Azadi Memorial comprises number of well-equipped galleries to portray various movements of the freedom struggle. The other components include a 45-metre-high tower known as 'Shaheed-e-Minar', a 1000-seat open-air-theatre, a 150-seat movie hall, a 300-seat auditorium, library besides research and seminar halls.
