India Gate & Kartavya Path

India Gate is a war memorial dedicated to the soldiers of the British Indian Army who died in WWI. It stands at the eastern end of the Kartavya Path (formerly Rajpath).

A stroll here in the evening, eating ice cream and seeing the monument illuminated, is a classic Delhi pastime. The nearby National War Memorial is a somber and touching tribute to post-independence martyrs.

It is the ceremonial axis of the nation.
