When the Indian Ocean tsunami struck the Indian shores in 2004, it left behind horrible destruction in its wake. This 16-foot memorial serves to honour the memory of those who lost their lives to the killer waves and reminds us about the frailty and temporary nature of life. The structure has two hands – one is holding back a giant wave while the other holds a lamp. The design is said to inspire hope and optimism and there is a plaque below which records the date of this monument. There’s also a beautiful garden around the structure where visitors can stroll around. While it tends to make some people immensely sad, the monument also serves to remind people about nature’s might.
