India Gate, formerly All India War Memorial, is in New Delhi, the capital city of India. It is a memorial built in commemoration of more than 80,000 Indian soldiers who were killed during World War I. The monument is an imposing 42 meters high arch and was designed by the famous architect Edwin Lutyens. The design of India gate is almost similar to its French counterpart war memorial, the Arc-de-Triomphe. The structure is made of red stone that rises in stages into a huge molding. On top of the arch, INDIA is written on both sides. Names of over 70,000 Indian soldiers are inscribed on the walls of the monument in whose memory it is built. There is a shallow domed bowl at the top, which was intended to be filled with burning oil at special occasions. At the base of it there is another memorial, the Amar Jawan Jyoti that was added after independence if India. This eternal flame was lighted in commemoration of the unknown soldiers who laid their lives to serve this nation.
