Swahid Smarak Khetra

"Swahid Pranamu Tumak" is an Assamese phrase 
meaning "I bow to you, O Martyr"

Swahid Smarak Khetra stands as a powerful tribute to the martyrs of the
 Assam Agitation (1979–1985). 
It honors the 860 courageous individuals who laid down their lives in defense of Assam’s identity, language, and culture. The memorial complex preserves their legacy through carefully crafted busts and a gallery showcasing historic photographs from the Assam Movement, offering visitors a moving glimpse into this significant chapter of history.
