The Kalinga war memorial was established by the British. The Anglo-Gurkha war took place between the Gurkha soldiers and the British Army in the year 1814. A one of its kind war memorial across the globe, there's little wonder in the fact that it sees flocks of tourists all across the year. It's a one of its kind memorial for being the only one that's built by an army to honour its opponent army. Legends have it that the Gorkhas defended the fort from the British Army for six weeks without any food or water. Impressed by their bravery, the British troops built a memorial to honour them.
