A majestic frame for an eternal flame. India gate, New Delhi, India
India Gate, a grand war memorial in New Delhi designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, commemorates the Indian soldiers who lost their lives during World War I. It features the names of the more than 13,500 soldiers who fell on the Northwestern Frontier in 1919. Under the gate is the eternal flame, known as the Amar Jawan Jyoti, which honours the unknown soldiers of the 1971 Indo-Pakistan War. The India Gate was unveiled in 1931 by the Duke of Connaught. The 42-metre-high arch, reminiscent of the Parisian Arc de Triomphe, stands at the end of the Rajpath, connecting it with the Rashtrapati Bhavan. The memorial has become a symbol of national unity and a site for various commemorations, including Republic Day parades.
