India Gate is perhaps the most iconic representations of Delhi. Instantly recognisable from scores of photographs, it was built in 1931 to honour the martyrs of World War I and the Afghan War. Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, it stands 42 metres tall and houses the Amar Jawan Jyoti. The eternal flame was created after the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War and symbolises the immortal Indian soldier. A visit here is among the top things to do in Delhi. Time your visit in the evening. Lit up strategically, the monument appears resplendent framed against the evening sky.
