A Must see place in New Delhi. The India Gate was built to commemorate the Indian and British soldiers who died in World War 1, and those who fell in the Third Afghan War. An eternal flame, ‘ Amar Jawan Jyoti’ burns in memory of those who died in the 1971 Indo-Pakistan war. Around India Gate are the stately homes... more

India gate is a gate to India's heart. It is India's heart because people have lost their lives to save India. It is a place where people who have sacrificed their life for the nation are lying. Thus it is the heart of the nation more

As other reviewers have said, it is a monument surrounded by greenery so unless you want to sit on the grass for a while, a quick 10 minute visit is enough. We didn't stay any longer because we were also hassled by hawkers. There were definitely much more impressive sights elsewhere in Delhi. more

I agree with "sheilacheetah", it is overrated. For some reason it seems to be an attraction for locals. It is basically a large park with the monument of "India Gate" in the middle, at night fire running at the bottom. Indian soldiers attending the fire. Hanging place for families and young people in the evening, seemed to be safe. Lots... more

A few days I had the opportunity to go to India Gate with my friends. Though I am a resident of Delhi, but I never visited India Gate before. We reached there at around 4.30 PM. The one thing which impressed me was the open space with greenery available near India Gate. I am a resident of East Delhi where... more

Over-rated. Would have been much more pleasant if not for all the hawkers trying to sell you 'souvenirs'. As with a lot of places in Delhi, I felt quite unconfortable as a Western female, with all the unwanted attention. A nice very large monument, but doesn't take long to have a quick wander around. At least it was free to... more
