Cellular Jail (Port Blair)

cellular-jail-port-blair

The Cellular Jail, also known as "Kala Pani," is a significant historical landmark in Port Blair, symbolizing India's struggle for independence. Built by the British in the late 19th century, this colonial prison once held countless freedom fighters in solitary confinement. The jail's unique architecture, with its seven wings radiating from a central tower, was designed to isolate prisoners and prevent communication. Today, the site serves as a national memorial, offering visitors a glimpse into the hardships endured by the inmates. The evening Sound and Light Show narrates the poignant history, bringing the past to life in a powerful tribute.
