National War Memorial

Treat it as an active memorial

Keep voices low, avoid playful posing and never obstruct visitors reading names or paying respects.

Walk the circles in order

Following the intended route helps the symbolism of protection, sacrifice, valour and immortality unfold.

Consider the evening ceremony

Ceremonial timings can change, so check official information and arrive early without crowding formal areas.

Distinguish it from India Gate

Visit both, but understand that they commemorate different periods and were created for different purposes.

Photograph discreetly

Avoid flash, intrusive portraits or turning solemn spaces into backdrops.

Use the designed ramps and paths

The memorial is broadly accessible; security staff can direct visitors to the smoothest entry route.
