Cellular Jail

Cellular Jail

Cellular Jail — Kala Pani — is India's most haunting colonial monument. Built by the British in 1906 in Port Blair to isolate Indian freedom fighters in solitary confinement, its seven-wing radial design is chilling even today. The nightly Sound and Light Show narrating the freedom struggle is one of the most moving heritage experiences in India. A mandatory Port Blair sightseeing destination. Entry fee applies; the show runs in Hindi and English on alternate nights.
