Hutatma Chowk

Hutatma Chowk is the Plaza de los Mártires: a memorial built near the Flora Fountain. It is a bronze statue on a pillar: two martyrs holding a flame. In fact, a real flame burns continuously, as in the tomb of the unknown soldier. This monument was erected in 1960, in memory of the 105 members of the Samyukta Maharashtra Samiti who were killed by the police while demonstrating peacefully in favor of the creation of Maharashtra state.
