An octagonal monument located close to the Kanch Mahal in Sikandra, Agra. Its construction is attributed to Sikander Lodi, the second ruler of the Lodi dynasty.
It sits on an octagonal platforms, with beautiful symmetrical arches on all sides.
The monument looks to be in ruins, but a lot of reconstruction work is going on.
I visited in December '23.

A well-maintained garden inside the Jallianwala Bagh complex, with well spaced out flowerbeds in full bloom with seasonal flowers in Dec 2023.
The flowers add a dash of colour to the green well-maintained lawns inside the complex. There are seating areas with benches, though sitting on the grass isn't allowed.

This sculpture also known as the 'Flame of Liberty's was designed by Shri Anoop Bartaria.
The reprehensible Jallianwala Bagh massacre of principally innocent Indians by a cowardly British Brigadier General fanned the flames of the Independence movement in the country.
Therefore this memorial is designed in the form of a flame, with the faces of more than 350 patriots who were martyred on the occasion.
In the middle of the sculpture nestles an eternal flame...
