INDIA GATE
New Delhi, Delhi, India
India Gate is without a doubt one of the most recognizable structures of the country. Often referred as the replica of Arc de Triomphe in Paris, this majestic monument is dedicated to those 70,000 soldiers who lost their lives during World War-I. Completed in 1931. India Gate stands 42 meters tall in height with name of the Indian martyrs carved on it. The Amar Jawan Jyoti is a much later addition to the structure, which was created after 1971’s Indo-Pak war. Today, India Gate is amongst the most famous monuments in Delhi and India.
