 India gate by call_me_rhia
What I liked about this arch is the fact that it's surrounded by green grass lawns, trees and artificial ponds. People gather there for picnics and children go for a refreshing swim nearby - this is my memory of the Arch... not the construction itself, but the life that goes on around it Leave a Comment Address: India Gate

The monument is pretty huge and nice, but if you do not have the time to visit all the other monuments in Delhi, I would suggest you to forget about India Gate, as the other are definitely nicer! Leave a Comment

India gate, a memorial to the fallen soldiers from the British Indian army, that died in battle, fighting for the British Empire during World War 1 and also the Afghan wars
The foundation stone was laid in 1921 by the Duke of Connaught.
The words - "To the dead of the Indian armies who fell honoured in France and Flanders Mesopotamia and Persia East Africa Gallipoli and elsewhere in the near and the far-east and in sacred memory also of those whose names are recorded and who fell in India or the north-west frontier and during the Third Afgan War" are inscribed at the top of the monument...
India gate is the centre of 'Lutyens Delhi'. Edwin Lutyens was commissioned by the British to design an `imperial capital', ironically India became independent almost as soon as it was finished. Leave a Comment

There is a shrine burning under the arch of India Gate since 1971. It is the Amar Jawan Jyoti (the flame of the immortal warrior), signifying the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It is a black marble cenotaph placed on an edifice with a rifle placed on its barrel, crested by a soldier's helmet. At four corners of the edifice, there are four torches that are perpetually kept burning. It was unveiled on Republic day of India, January 26, 1972 by the then Prime Minister of India Indira Gandhi, closely after the 1971 India Pakistan War. Even today, during national ceremonies, homage is paid at this site by the President, Prime Minister or high officials. Address: India gateDirections: Near the Parliament

The India Gate is situated at one end of the Rajpath avenue that leads straight to the Presidential palace. It is a Gate in honour of all Indian soldiers of the British Indian army who died during the Afghan wars and World War I. The pathway through it has a rifle placed on its barrel, crested by a soldier's helmet, depicting the tribute to a dead soldier. The area is very touristy with loads of tourists visiting it every day. There is a beautiful grassy lawn on both sides of the little road approaching the India gate, a nice place to relax. Address: RajpathDirections: At one end of the Rajpath, close to the Parliament
