🎖️ Gwalior Monument

The Gwalior Monument, also known as Ellenborough's Folly, or The Pepperpot, is an octagonal cenotaph about 18 metres (60 ft) high, crowned with a bronze dome cast from guns captured from the Scindia forces. It was erected in 1847 by Lord Ellenborough, the Governor-General of India, as a memorial to the officers and men who fell during the Gwalior War in 1843. It had been vandalized over the years and was restored by INTACH, The Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage in 1990.
