The Cellular Jail (Kala Pani) in Port Blair (Now Sri Vijaya Puram), Andaman and Nicobar Islands, is a powerful symbol of India's freedom struggle. Also known as Kala Pani, this colonial-era prison was built by the British in 1906 to exile and punish Indian freedom fighters. With its isolated location and inhuman conditions, it became a dreaded place where many revolutionaries like Veer Savarkar and Batukeshwar Dutt were imprisoned. Today, it stands as a national memorial, reminding visitors of the sacrifices made for India's independence. The evening light and sound show narrating the jail's history is a must-see experience.
