This is the pride of Delhi that was earlier known as the All India War Memorial. This monument was built by the Lutyens in the memory of all the 90000 soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the welfare of their country during the World War I. The names of each of the soldiers are inscribed on the walls of the monument. The Amar Jawan Jyoti or the Eternal Flame burns here 24 hours as a symbol of remembrance of the brave warriors. On the opposite side of the monument is the very controversial canopy where was once placed the marble statue of Prince George which was later removed from here.

India Gate unveiled on 12th February 1931 was the work of Imperial War Graves Commission and designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens. Construction of India Gate started in 1921. Also known as the All India War Memorial, the secular structure stands tall at 42 meters in New Delhi, India. Built as a war memorial to 82000 soldiers who lost their lives during World War 1 and the third Anglo-Afghan war, names of around 13500 soldiers are inscribed on the gate walls. Although India Gate is a war memorial, it was designed like a triumphal arc and is often compared to the Arc de Triomphe, Paris.
