What to see inside the Cellular Jail National Memorial
|
|
Cellular Jail, located at Port Blair, Stood mute witness to the tortures meted out to the freedom fighter, who were incarcerated in this jail. The Jail, completed in the 1906 acquired the name ‘Cellular’ because it is entirely made up of individual cells for the solitary confinement. It originally was a seven pronged, puce-coloured building with central-tower acting as its fulcrum and a massive structure comprising honeycomb like corridors. The building was subsequently damaged and presently three out of seven prongs are intact. The jail, now a place of pilgrimage for all freedom loving people, has been declared a National Memorial. The jail Museum here draws your memories back to those years of freedom struggle.
