INDIA GATE -Place to Visit in Delhi (INDIA)
INDIA GATE (DELHI)
INDIA GATE , DELHI (originally
called the All India War Memorial), is a war memorial located
astride the Rajpath,
on the eastern edge of the ‘ceremonial axis’ of New Delhi, India,
formerly called Kingsway. India Gate is a memorial to 82,000 soldiers of the
undivided Indian Army who
died in the period 1914–21 in the First World War,
in france,Flanders, Mesopotamia, Persia, East Africa, Gallipoli and elsewhere
in the Near and the Far East, and the Third Anglo-Afghan War.
13,300 servicemen's names, including some soldiers and officers from the United
Kingdom, are inscribed on the gate.[1][2] The
India Gate, even though a war memorial, evokes the architectural style of
the triumphal arch like
the Arch of Constantine,
outside the Colosseum in Rome, and is often
compared to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, and the Gateway of India in
Mumbai. It was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens.[1]
