The hall is 42 metres in diameter and the highest point of the ceiling is 13.5 metres. It is dominated by a sculpture of a hand holding a torch in which an eternal flame burns. An honour guard is provided by soldiers of the 46th Infantry Company of the Volgograd Garrison from 9:00 am to 7:00 or 8:00 pm, with an hourly changing of the guard ceremony. Thirty-four symbolic red banners line the wall of the hall, listing the names of about 7,200 of the defenders of Stalingrad.
