Name and Location

The Unnamed Lighthouse at Indira Bazar, located in Little Andaman Island, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. The lighthouse's official name is unknown, but it is situated within the village of Indira Bazar, on the western shoreline.

Construction and History

The construction year of the lighthouse is unknown, likely erected in the late 20th century to support local fisheries. The managing authority is presumed to be under Indian DGLL jurisdiction or local Port Department. The lighthouse is unmanned and fully automated.

Architecture and Materials

The structure is attached to a small single-storey building, presumably made of reinforced concrete or masonry. The height and focal height are not officially documented, but local reports suggest a tower under 10 meters tall, giving a focal plane possibly 12-15 meters above high water.

Light and Navigation

The light characteristic is possibly a white flashing light, although no formal DGLL bulletin is available. The nominal range is likely 3-5 nautical miles, sufficient for local fishing craft and small vessels.

Accessibility and Visiting

The grounds are open to the public, but the tower itself is fenced or locked. There are no official visitor facilities, tours, or museum functions.

Notable Views and Landscape

The surrounding landscape features a tropical shoreline with coconut groves, intermittent mangrove patches, and a modest fishing jetty. Visitors can enjoy the Indira Bazar Beach and local fishing harbour, as well as White Surf Beach (east coast surfing beach) and Little Andaman's rainforests, waterfalls, and tribal-heritage sites.

Anecdotes and Folklore

No documented anecdotes or folklore are available for this lighthouse.

Technical and Operational Details

The lighthouse is almost certainly unmanned and fully automated. There is no AIS or radar installation reported on-site. The status is active for local navigation but not listed among India's principal coastal lights. Nautical charts may appear on regional Admiralty or Indian charts covering Little Andaman's west coast.
