The only war memorial of South Asia that was constructed by raising funds from public.
National war museum of Pune is located in Cantonment area of Pune, which is surrounded by green trees and thus looks very appealing. This area is near Pune railway station. One can reach this area from Pune station by Taxi/Auto. The idea of creating a museum of national memorial was proposed for the first time in the year 1996 and opening of the National war museum is done in the year 1998. This memorial is considered to be the only war memorial of South Asia that was constructed by raising funds from public. The National war memorial of Pune was constructed in memory of Indian soldiers who lost their lives in Kargil war. Main Attractions of This War Memorial 1.

Feast for eyes
It is a feast for eyes, and fills with pride, the items are real on display and it gives amazing feeling. Painball is nice experience, wish we had some more items in the cafetaria since it is a time consuming place and kids feel hungry.

Great memorial for our bravehearts
Nice memorial for our bravehearts, hosted by southern command of the army. Sound and light show happens in weekend evening (not sure about weekdays). Must visit with children to pay homage and respect for those who sacrificed their lives for safeguarding us
