India Gate was Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens. The foundation stone was laid on 10 February 1921 by the Duke of Connaught and completed in 1931 in memory of 90,000 soldiers of the Indian Army, who died in World War I and the Afghan Wars. The names of the soldiers who died in these wars are inscribed on the walls. India Gate is formerly known as All India War Memorial.
India gate situated on the Rajpath in New Delhi is 160 feet high with an arch of 138 feet. Built from sandstone, the arch also houses the Amar Jawan Jyoti (Eternal Flame), a gesture in memory of the Indian soldiers who laid their lives in the 1971 war with Pakistan.

Inscribed on top of India Gate in capital letters is the line: “To the dead of the Indian armies who fell honored in France and Flanders Mesopotamia and Persia East Africa Gallipoli and elsewhere in the near and the far-east and in sacred memory also of those whose names are recorded and who fell in India or the north-west frontier and during the Third Afghan War.”
The shrine itself is a black marble cenotaph with a rifle placed on its barrel, crested by a soldier's helmet. Each face of the cenotaph has inscribed in gold the words "Amar Jawan" (Immortal Warrior). This cenotaph is itself placed on an edifice which has on its four corners four flames that are perpetually kept alive.
I took this shot in the night with the help of tripod as reflected in the pond.
