Khalanga War Memorial is a heritage monument in Dehradun, India, dedicated to the memory of Gorkha soldiers who fought the British in 1814 in the Battle of Nalapani, the first battle of the Anglo-Nepalese War. It has been described as the only monument in the history of warfare to have been erected by a victorious army for its adversaries, as the British were reportedly impressed with the valour of the Gorkhas.[1] The structure falls under the aegis of the Archaeological Survey of India.[2] Every year, a fair is held at the site to commemorate the soldiers and to celebrate Gorkha culture and history.[3][4]
