Ambala Gallery

Long before Meerut became the popular symbol of the revolt, soldiers of the Ambala cantonment refused to use the new Enfield cartridges. This gallery recovers that early, often-overlooked story through archival documents, regimental records and oral histories.

Period photographs of the cantonment, the Sadar Bazaar and the European cemetery sit alongside re-created barracks interiors, anchoring the visitor in the streetscape of mid-19th-century Ambala.
