India Gate was built to commemorate the 82,000 Indian soldiers who died during World War I.
The iconic arch was designed by British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, blending western and Indian architectural styles.
The memorial was initially named to honor the sacrifices of Indian soldiers in the British Indian Army.
In 1972, the Amar Jawan Jyoti (Flame of the Immortal Soldier) was added to honor soldiers who died in the 1971 India-Pakistan war.
India Gate stands as a symbol of national pride and courage, attracting visitors from all over the world.
At its base, the memorial also pays tribute to the "Unknown Soldier" with a tomb, symbolizing the sacrifices of nameless heroes.
