Renovated Shraddhanjali Sthal reopens at Army Heritage Museum Shimla

SHIMLA 23 March, 2026

Lieutenant General Devendra Sharma, PVSM, AVSM, SM, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Army Training Command (ARTRAC), today here rededicated the renovated Shraddhanjali Sthal at the Army Heritage Museum, Annandale, through a wreath-laying ceremony.

On the occasion, a 52-foot-high National Flag of India was also unveiled. The towering Tricolour stands as a symbol of the nation’s unity and pride, and pays tribute to the supreme sacrifices made by soldiers in service of the country. It now adds to the prominence of the Army Heritage Museum, one of Shimla’s key tourist attractions with significant visitor footfall throughout the year.

The ceremony was attended by military personnel from Headquarters ARTRAC, station units, ex-servicemen, and NCC cadets, who paid solemn homage to the brave martyrs of the Indian Army. The Shraddhanjali Sthal has been upgraded to enhance its sanctity and aesthetic appeal, reinforcing its role as a place of remembrance, reflection and inspiration.

The rededication of the memorial, along with the installation of the National Flag, reflects the Indian Army’s continued commitment to honouring its fallen heroes and preserving its rich legacy of valour, sacrifice and patriotism.
