Guwahati War Cemetery

Commonwealth war cemetery in Silpukhuri, recalling Guwahati's Second World War role in northeast India

Guwahati War Cemetery is a quiet, formal memorial in Silpukhuri, maintained in the clipped, orderly style of Commonwealth war cemeteries. Its graves recall the military hospitals, supply routes, and campaigns that made northeast India strategically important during the Second World War.

It is a sober stop rather than a scenic one, but it gives Guwahati a wider historical frame. Combine it with nearby Navagraha Temple if you are already on this side of town, and allow a little time to read the headstones instead of treating it as a quick photograph.
