This memorial is also a mausoleum and a museum. The mausoleum houses the remains (except the skull) of Koitalel who was the spiritual leader (orkoiyot) of the Nandi when their land was being invaded by the British.
The museum is just a few rooms containing a small collection of clothes, vessels, instruments and weapons. It is not developed or expanded yet as the curator awaits the construction of a building dedicated to housing the collection.
Nearby, a specially constructed Nandi traditional house can be visited. Its parts are labeled and their role in the daily life of the people is well explained by the curator or his assistant.
Location: Nandi Hills town, just across the main road from the District Commissioners Office and Post Office.
