About Jaisalmer War Museum
“Thank a farmer if you ate today, and thank a soldier if you ate in peace!” Our troops and security services expend their days battling dangers and adversity so that Indian people can sleep soundly. Although we all love and admire what they do for us, the Indian Army has commemorated their soldiers' sacrifices in a beautiful exhibition at the Jaisalmer military base's war museum. The aim of this exhibit is to pay tribute to all of the soldiers who fought and died in the 1965 India-Pakistan war and the 1971 Longewala battle. A visit to this museum allows you to see captured tanks and other war memorabilia, instilling a strong sense of patriotism in your country and its troops. The museum also has an audio-visual space where movies about the war are seen. Major Kuldip Singh Chandpuri, who was a key figure in the Longewala war, was also interviewed. He gives a clear account of how the soldiers fought the Longewala war in the film. The museum also has a war memorial with many war medals and antique equipment, as well as tanks, cannons, and military vehicles, as well as murals of soldiers who died in the war and weapons used during the conflict. The Air Force has also sent the museum a Hunter aircraft that was used during the Battle of Longewala in the 1971 Indo-Pak War. The museum is free to enter and houses a significant part of our country's heritage. It is located on the Jaisalmer-Jodhpur Highway. It is, without a doubt, one of the locations you must see.
