Shaheed Minar

Manipur keeps throbbing with the activities of a full fledged tourists heaven with many must see spots fetching no less revenue to the north eastern state. From natural beauty to historical significance, from archaeologicalĀ  importance to hero worship, the state leaves not even a single field unnoticed. Apart from the enchanting natural beauty, the princely state is proud of its heroes who are still living in the hearts of the people. These fighters or heroes are remembered, worshipped by the people of all walks of life to keep them alive for good. Statues are still standing tall in the name of a few such heroes who made no less sacrifice for the state and its people.

Shaheed Minar is one such memorial in Imphal to glorify the unmatched patriotism of Tikendrajeet and Thangal who cared not even an iota to go to the gallows in 1891 at the hands of the British. The unmoved memorial consisting of three beams at the north side of the Bir Tikendrajeet Park tells the courage of the Manipuris. The salient feature of the memorial is the mythological dragons at the top giving where the tourists can watch and feel the pulse of the native people. This is what a relaxing spot for the visitors and tourists in the evening. Historians, students and tourists keep visiting the memorial in season and out of season.
