The iconic image of Pakistan’s 1971 surrender in Dhaka was moved from the Indian Army chief’s office to Delhi’s Manekshaw Centre in December 2024. A Mahabharata-inspired painting took its place. In July 2026, The Tribune reported that the replacement had also been removed from the office lounge, but did not say what is displayed there now or whether the surrender image has returned.
What happened to the 1971 surrender image?
The photograph records the signing of Pakistan’s Instrument of Surrender in Dhaka on December 16, 1971. Scroll reported on December 16, 2024, that the image had been removed from the Indian Army chief’s office and replaced with a new painting. The Army said the surrender painting was installed at the Manekshaw Centre in Delhi on Vijay Diwas. Scroll’s December 2024 report
In the Army message quoted by Scroll, the relocation was described as giving the painting “its most befitting place” at the Manekshaw Centre, named for Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, whom the message called the “Architect and the Hero of 1971.” The quoted message said the installation took place on the occasion of Vijay Diwas, observed on December 16.

ThePrint attributed to the Army chief a description of the artwork as one that “links past, present & future.” ThePrint’s January 2025 report

What is known about the office display now?
The Tribune reported on July 23, 2026, that Karm Kshetra had been removed from the Army chief’s office lounge. Its report does not establish what replaced it, whether the 1971 surrender painting was returned to the office, or why the change was made. The 2024 relocation to the Manekshaw Centre and the reported 2026 removal of the replacement are separate developments; the later report does not resolve the surrender painting’s current location.
