India Gate in Delhi
Illuminated like a bejeweled arch, the All India War Memorial or the India Gate offers spectacular sights at sunset.
Tour the 42-meter high stone arch or the India Gate as a part of your tour packages for Places of Interest in Delhi with India Travel Portal. India Gate is a landmark monument that was designed and constructed to commemorate the memory of 70,000 soldiers who died during the First World War. The names of warriors who died during the Afghan war are inscribed on the massive India Gate arches. There is another memorial right under the India Gate that is known as the Amar Jawan Jyoti that consists of a constantly burning flame to honor the memory of those who perished during the Bangladesh war in 1971.
The entire India Gate arch is perched on platforms built of Bharatpur red sandstone. Surrounded by lush lawns and tiny water pools, India Gate adorns a carnival like ambience at sunset everyday.
Lick an ice candy as you feast on the panoramic vistas that greet you near the floodlit India Gate that dominates the Delhi skyline with regal flourish.
