    The Cellular Jail in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands is famously known as Kala Pani. It was used by the British during India's struggle for independence to imprison political prisoners. The term "Kala Pani" translates to "black waters," symbolizing the isolation and harsh conditions faced by the inmates.

    Key points:
    ● The Cellular Jail was built between 1896 and 1906.
    ● It had 698 cells, each designed for solitary confinement.
    ● Many prominent freedom fighters, including Veer Savarkar, were imprisoned here.
    ● The jail symbolizes the sacrifices of India’s freedom fighters.
    ● It is now a national memorial and a significant historical site.
    ● The term "Kala Pani" reflects the dread and despair associated with the imprisonment.

    Additional Information:

    • Maut ka kuan means "well of death" but is not related to the Cellular Jail.
    • Antim Yatra refers to a funeral procession.
