Description

The Chattri is a memorial built in 1921, designed by E.C. Henriques under the supervision of Sir Samuel Swinton Jacob. It is located in Patcham, Brighton, on the site where the bodies of Hindu and Sikh soldiers were cremated.

The memorial is made of white Sicilian marble with a darker stone used for the base. The base has a square plan and steps down four times towards the east. On top of the base is an octagonal pavilion, supported by columns that are square at the base and transition to octagonal halfway up. These columns feature bracketed capitals and support a dome that has the wide eaves and profile characteristic of an Indian chattri. The base is inscribed in both English and Hindi, dedicating the monument "TO THE MEMORY OF ALL THE INDIAN SOLDIERS WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE SERVICE OF THEIR KING-EMPEROR THIS MONUMENT ERECTED IN THE SITE WHERE THE HINDUS AND SIKHS WHO DIED IN HOSPITAL IN BRIGHTON PASSED THROUGH FIRE, IS IN GRATEFUL ADMIRATION AND BROTHERLY AFFECTION DEDICATED."
