The Cellular Jail in Port Blair is one of India's most important national monuments, built by the British in 1906 to exile political prisoners during India's freedom struggle. Its seven wings radiate from a central watchtower like spokes of a wheel — designed so that each prisoner could only see the sea, never another prisoner. Legends like Veer Savarkar, Batukeshwar Dutt, and countless unnamed freedom fighters endured horrific conditions here. The evening Light and Sound show, narrated by the jail itself, is deeply moving.
What makes this place special
The evening show brings the jail's history to life — the building itself narrates the stories of the freedom fighters who suffered within its walls.

The solitary confinement cell of Veer Savarkar, one of India's most controversial freedom fighters, preserved exactly as it was.
The seven-pointed star design allowed a single guard at the central tower to monitor all seven wings simultaneously — a chilling feat of colonial surveillance architecture.
