Maharaja Ranjit Singh War Museum.Located along GT Road on the outskirts of Ludhiana, this museum showcases India’s military history with galleries on ancient, medieval and modern wars, uniforms, weapons, models of tanks and aircraft, and a special section on the Kargil conflict. A sound-and-light show (when operational) narrates the story of Indian soldiers’ bravery. Even in its current semi-neglected state, it is an important educational stop for students and defence enthusiasts.
About this place
History & highlights
The museum was set up by the Punjab Government in the late 20th century as a tribute to Maharaja Ranjit Singh and the armed forces of India. Its purpose was to chronicle Punjab’s and India’s contributions to major battles, including independence wars and post-1947 conflicts. Over time, due to limited funding and maintenance, exhibits and infrastructure deteriorated, and recent reports highlight the need for urgent restoration and renewed investment to preserve this key piece of military heritage.
