India Gate

A famous war memorial situated at the east end of Rajpath, straight down the road from Rashtrapati Bhavan. This 42 m high gate structure designed by Edward Lutyens was built in memory of the thousands of Indians who died in World War I. Under the gate is the eternal flame (amar jawan jyoti) which honours the unknown soldiers who lost their lives in the Pakistan war of 1971.
