India Gate Delhi
|
|
This solemn monument was built in memory of the 90,000 Indian soldiers who died in World War I.
It was built in 1931, designed by Lutyens, and was originally called the All India War Memorial.
The names of the soldiers are inscribed on the walls of the arc of the gate.
Later in 1971, an eternal flame was lit here in memory of the unknown soldiers who died in the 1971 Indo-Pakistan war.
India Gate stands at the end of Rajpath, and is a popular picnic site especially during hot summer evenings.
|
At night, the Gate is brightly lit and the fountains near the Gate are lit with coloured lights. The sight is delightful.
