I liked its integrity, it's solidness, it's announcing India as modern and ancient, timeless architecture like this is a boon in a busy world.

Our friend from Delhi told us the India Gate was a 'must' so we hopped out & took a photo...reminds you of the Arch d'Triomphe in an Indian landscape.

It is a huge gate, walls are non decorative, built by British, and has no beauty. Do not waste time in it. A quick look from taxi window will be more than enough.

This impressive sandstone monument commemorates the Indian and British soldiers who died in WWI. While it is sometimes not easy getting past the crowds and many (many!) touts, it's still worth the effort. Make sure to go around the monument as it provides wonderful photo ops.

We did not know about India Gate before visiting Delhi, but a taxi driver pointed it out to us, and we decided to return. It is the site of India's Tomb of the Unknown Soliders, and there are Indian military members in formal uniforms (at least when we visited during the day). They were very kind and allowed my wife...
