The main part of the sculpture has a portrait of four strong and radiant freedom fighters, including a woman, which is the embodiment of the bravery and courage of the Bengali nation. The sculpture reflects the combined role of the freedom-loving people, both men and women, in the great liberation war. The murals on all sides of the altar depict the historic March 7 speech of the Founder of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, portraits of our four national leaders, the barbarity of the Slaughterhouse and the surrender of the Pakistani occupying forces.[3]
