They were brought over from the Western Front and hospitalised in Brighton to recover from their wounds.\n\nThe Service will take place on Sunday 14th June at 2.30 pm. at the Chattri, Patcham, Standean Lane, Brighton, BN1 8ZB. Prayers and the laying of the wreaths should last approximately half an hour. Cars\u002Fcoaches are able to drive right up to the Chattri on this day across the fields.\n\nFollowing the Ceremony, refreshments will be served at the Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club, American Express Stadium, Village Way, BN1 9BL. On arrival, please head to the Mayo Wynne Baxter Lounge located in the stadium’s West Reception entrance (signposted).\n\nThe Chattri exhibition, tracing the role of the soldiers from India to Brighton will be on display as well as stands from the National Army Museum, Imperial War Museum, RBL and UK Punjab Heritage Association.","The Chattri Memorial stands on the Sussex South Downs near Brighton, marking the exact cremation site of 53 Hindu and Sikh Indian soldiers who died in local hospitals during World War I. It is a crucial historical monument honouring the vital contributions and immense sacrifices of undivided India.\n\nThe word Chattri means \"umbrella\" in Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu - describing the dome-shaped pavilion design that symbolizes protection over the dead. It was built directly on the spot where the soldiers' funeral pyres burned.\n\nDuring WWI, over 1.5 million Indian soldiers served across the globe. Those wounded on the Western Front were brought to Brighton where buildings like the Royal Pavilion were converted into military hospitals. The Chattri was established because the British made deliberate provisions to ensure these men received traditional Hindu and Sikh cremation rites, rather than burial.\n\nToday, the monument acts as an important symbol of multicultural remembrance where Hounslow Gurdwara has paid respect to our ancestors by performing Ardas every year at 2:30pm on the 2nd Sunday of June when vehicles are allowed to drive and park near the memorial; otherwise it is a 2mile walk over the farmland.\n\nThe Chattri Memorial, Standean Lane, Brighton, BN1 8ZB.","2026-06-14",null,"14:00:00","uploads\u002F7cb1d20d-569c-4dd6-b868-fb1117a31493.webp",true,0,"2026-05-27T15:05:32.099915+00:00","2026-08-19T22:49:27.368933+00:00","EXTERNAL",false,"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.chattri.org\u002F",[]]
