The monument of the Battle of Chillianwala is positioned near the graveyards to honour the fallen soldiers
The most notable thing in the centre of the village is two graveyards which are both deeply respected by the citizens of Chillianwala, Mojianwala and surrounding towns and villages; many millions of rupees have been donated by provincial government and efforts are still being put in to highlight its historical importance and military significance; this has so far been a success.[3]
