Kohima War Cemetery

KOHIMA WAR CEMETERY lies on the battle ground of Garrison Hill. No trace remains of the bungalow, which was destroyed in the fighting, but white concrete lines mark and preserve permanently the historic tennis court. The cemetery now contains 1,420 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War. At the highest point in the cemetery stands the KOHIMA CREMATION MEMORIAL commemorating 917 Hindu and Sikh soldiers whose remains were cremated in accordance with their faith.

This memorial holds an important position in the history of North-East India. Very touching to see that many of the soldiers who lost their lives in the battles in the region are very young, often in their twenties.

Kohima Museum

Reviewed By Nanakolkata

Very well designed museum which displays all aspect of Naga life, culture and history.The life size models were the best i have seen during my visit to several museums across the globe. You can also know about the important archaeological sites in Nagaland. Good paintings with accompanying models highlights the various sports activities of Naga tribal people. Educative for one and all BUT sadly lacks visitors both from India and abroad due to lack of proper advertisement among visitors.Dresses, weapons and daily used items were displayed to give proper emphasis to each aspect of Nagas .Lacks proper sanitation facilities in and aronud the museum.Sorry to say that NO relevant literatire and books. cards were available during my visit. It seems that no one cares about this unique museum.
