The Bhawan, also known by the name of War memorial, was built in the memory of the civilians who lost their lives during Indo-Pak War in 1947-48. The massacre took place during the festival of lights-Diwali. The Pakistani forces took over the place in the absence of Indian Army. Finally in 1948 during the Baisakhi Festival, Indian forces succeeded to liberate the town. The martyrs of the war are honored at this memorial site and hence, got the name of Balidan Bhawan.
