Massacre Ghat in Kanpur

This postcard depicts the temple at Massacre Ghat, Kanpur (then spelled as Cawnpore)which saw one of the grimmest stories of Indian history of independence. Around 300 British men, women and children were murdered at the Satti Chaura Ghat, later gaining identification as Massacre Ghat. Those who escaped the brutal fate that day were later killed at the Bibighar Massacre. The rebellion was believed to be led by Nana Sahib of Peshwa from which the Ghat was renamed as Nana Rao Ghat.
