Cellular Jail, also known as Kala Pani, is a historic colonial prison located in Port Blair, the capital of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. Constructed by the British during their colonial rule, the jail was used to exile political prisoners and freedom fighters who opposed British rule in India. The prison gets its name from its unique structure, consisting of individual cells intended for solitary confinement. It played a significant role in the Indian independence movement, housing many notable revolutionaries.
