India Gate (Delhi, India)
India Gate was designed by British architect Lutyens, the man responsible for most of New Delhi’s architecture. The gate is a 42m high arch which was built in 1931 to commemorate the war dead of India who died in World War One. The faces of the arch are inscribed with the names of soldiers. In 1971 an eternal flame was added to honour the Immortal Soldier. Standing just behind the arch is a red sandstone canopy which in pre-independence days held a statue of George V and now stands empty. The surrounding area is a pleasant green park with facilities for pedal boats, lots of food and souvenir vendors and plenty of taxis. Visitors should be warned that the traffic is shocking and it may take some time to cross the roads. There is no fee to visit and the arch is als well viewed at night when it is attractively floodlit.
