The most notable site in the centre of the village is a war memorial and graveyard which contains graves of British officers and mass graves of soldiers of the opposing sides at the Battle of Chillianwala.[https://www.dawn.com/news/1153616 Monument honours lives lost in battle 166 years ago] It is both deeply respected by the citizens of Chillianwala, and surrounding towns and villages; a few million rupees have been donated by the Government of Punjab for the restoration of the above-mentioned war memorial and graveyard whereas further efforts are still being put in to highlight its historical importance and military significance; this has so far been a success.{{citation needed|date=May 2025}}
