Indian War Memorial Museum, Red Fort, Delhi

The Indian War Memorial Museum is located at Naubat Khana Building, the very first building one encounters upon entering the Red Fort complex in Delhi. The Naubat Khana, or Drum House, is where ceremonial music was played to announce the arrival of the royalty and important dignitaries.

The drum house has four floors and it also served as a gate house 'Hathi Pol' where the visiting dignitaries had to leave their horses and elephants. Above the Naubat Khana is the Indian War Memorial Museum. Formerly called Red Fort Museum of Arms and Weapons, the museum depicts the diorama of the battle of Panipat, along with the weapons and dresses used in first world war.

This is the reverse side of the museum building. All the exhibits are located on the upper floor. (10 November, 2004)

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
