The origin story

When you walk through this park, you might not realize the incredible journey of its origins. What began as a royal welcome ground in 1870 for Prince Alfred has transformed into a powerful memorial of India's freedom struggle. Initially, it was known as the Alfred Park or Company Bagh. And in 1931, Indian revolutionary Chandra Shekhar Azad who embodied fearless resistance - made this very ground immortal by choosing it as the site of his ultimate sacrifice during the freedom struggle. The park's renaming is more than a gesture; it's a living narrative that connects you directly to the heartbeat of India's struggle for freedom.

Let’s take a walk around

As you wander through Chandra Shekhar Azad Park, each step becomes a journey through multiple layers of history and recreation. Pause at the Chandra Shekhar Azad Memorial and feel the weight of historical significance, where a brave freedom fighter made his ultimate sacrifice. Your walk might lead you to the intriguing Thornhill Mayne Memorial or the Allahabad Museum, offering glimpses into the city's rich cultural heritage. Music lovers will appreciate the Musical Fountain, while those seeking tranquillity can explore the Azad Yoga Ashram. The Italian limestone Victoria Memorial canopy, a relic from 1906, stands as a silent witness to colonial history, its architectural beauty contrasting with the park's revolutionary spirit.
