The India Gate is a commemorative Monument built to honor the Indian soldiers who have fallen during the World War I and Afghan Wars. This is a very famous landmark in the heart of New Delhi. It's actually down the road from the Palace and Defense Buildings.

| I told you it's foggy! We came here from the President's Palace. The Parliament is on the left side of this road. |

| It's a famous spot for locals and tourists alike |

| Of course, photo op! (Taken by Amanda) |

| Can you see the colors in their faces?! |

| I think that statue/structure on the right means something. It must be the Amar Jawan Jyoti (flame of the immortal soldier). [Thanks, Wiki!] |
I think the letters I saw were some names carved on the stones. It's also called/referred to as tomb of the unknown soldier so these names, I presume, are just a representation of the 90000 (according to Wikipedia) soldiers who died in those wars.

| I love this angle of the gate. :) |
