The memorial replicates the battle scene, complete with six grass-covered mounds with statues of Banda Bahadur and his five generals. Renowned sculptor Prabhat Rai has created these. The three-storey tower is topped with a dome typical of Sikh architecture. Each of the three levels of the tower represents a battle; the victory of Samana, the victory of Sadhaura, and finally, the victory of Chappar Chiri.
