Elephant Pass War Memorial

This grandiose, vaguely stupa-like monument glorifies the role of the Sri Lankan armed forces in defeating the LTTE and lauds the role of then President (and current Prime Minister) Mahinda Rajapaksa. Huge bronze hands hold aloft a model of the country and are surrounded by bandoleer-wearing lions. It's at the north end of the causeway, 2.5km north of the Bulldozer Memorial.
