Standing proudly in the heart of New Delhi, the India Gate is a majestic war memorial that honors the bravery and sacrifice of over 84,000 Indian soldiers who lost their lives in World War I and the Third Anglo-Afghan War. Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and completed in 1931, this 42-meter-high archway is more than a monument — it’s a symbol of national pride and remembrance.
Set along the ceremonial Rajpath, India Gate is surrounded by lush lawns and fountains, making it a popular gathering place for locals and tourists alike. As evening falls, the structure glows with golden lights, while the Amar Jawan Jyoti (Eternal Flame) beneath the arch burns in silent tribute to the unknown soldier.
Whether you visit by day or night, India Gate offers a powerful moment of reflection, blending history, emotion, and architectural grandeur. It’s not just a landmark — it’s the soul of the capital, where patriotism and peace stand side by side.
