    History The iconic India Gate in Lutyen's Delhi was constructed in 1931 by erstwhile British empire to commemorate the Battle Casualty (Fatal) of India during World War I as well as Third Anglo-Afghan War. It stands tall as a must visit monument for visitors in New Delhi. Out of over 83,000 Indians who laid down their lives, India Gate bears 13,516 names, etched all over the monument. Amar Jawan Jyoti (AJJ) An inverted bayonet with a helmet structure along with Amar Jawan Jyoti was installed over night under the Arch of India Gate in January 1972 to commemorate India's victory in India - Pakistan War 1971 and as Nation's tribute to our brave soldiers who laid down their lives. After inception of National War Memorial, the Amar Jawan Jyoti merged with eternal flame of National War Memorial on 21 January 2022. Wreaths have been laid at AJJ ever since by dignitaries at various occasions, including by foreign dignitaries.

    India, a diverse and culturally rich nation, is known for its vast history, remarkable traditions, and stunning landscapes. With a population of over 1.3 billion people, it is the second-most populous country in the world. India's history dates back thousands of years, with ancient civilizations like the Indus Valley contributing to its heritage. India is characterized by its geographical diversity, from the Himalayan mountain range in the north to the fertile plains of the Ganges River. It boasts a rich tapestry of languages, religions, and ethnicities. Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism all originated here, and the country is home to various religious landmarks, including the Taj Mahal and Varanasi, a sacred city on the banks of the Ganges. Economically, India has made significant strides in recent decades, becoming one of the world's largest economies. Information technology, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture are vital sectors. However, it also faces challenges such as poverty, inequality, and infrastructure development. India's political landscape is marked by a democratic system, and the country has a diverse and complex political environment with a federal structure, consisting of states and union territories. In 200 words, it's impossible to capture the entirety of India's rich culture, history, and complexity, but it remains a nation of immense importance and fascination on the global stage.

    The National War Obelisk in Delhi stands tall as a symbol of our nation's valor and sacrifice. As a history enthusiast, I recently visited this remarkable monument, and I must say that it left a lasting impression on me. The first thing that struck me was the sheer size and grandeur of the National War Obelisk. It stands proudly, commanding attention and reminding us of the countless brave soldiers who fought for our country. The design is simple yet elegant, with a sleek obelisk rising towards the sky, surrounded by a serene and well-maintained garden. The memorial's location in Delhi adds to its significance, being situated in the heart of the city. It serves as a constant reminder of the sacrifices made by our armed forces throughout history. The surroundings are peaceful and provide an ideal atmosphere for quiet contemplation and reflection. Visiting the National War Obelisk also offers a unique educational experience. The monument is accompanied by informative plaques and displays that provide detailed historical context. Learning about the various wars and conflicts that our country has faced was both enlightening and humbling. It truly reinforces the importance of preserving our history and honoring those who fought for our freedom. One aspect that could be improved upon is the lack of guided tours or interactive exhibits. While the plaques offer valuable information, having knowledgeable guides or interactive displays would enhance the overall experience. It would enable visitors to gain a deeper understanding of the significance of the monument and the stories behind it. Furthermore, I noticed that the maintenance of the National War Obelisk was satisfactory. The gardens were well-kept, and the monument itself appeared clean and well-preserved. However, I would encourage the authorities to pay closer attention to the cleanliness of the surrounding areas and ensure proper waste management facilities. Overall, the National War Obelisk is a must-visit for both locals and tourists alike. It stands as a powerful testament to the bravery and sacrifice of our armed forces. While there is room for improvement in terms of interactive exhibits and cleanliness, the monument is undoubtedly a national treasure that fills one with a sense of pride and gratitude.

    This is an extremely convenient place to visit following your visit to the Gate of India since they're right next to each other. The site is an interesting one which allows you to walk downwards in a circular path to the memorial grounds to view the site. Once at the bottom there are some very cool plaques which memorialize key battles fought since WWII and highlight the significance of these battles. Once you've read the plaques and you've circled up to ground level there are thousands of names of the martyrs written down and memorized similar to the Vietnam Memorial. I recommend this stop following your visit to the India Gate.

    The National War Obelisk in New Delhi is a monument that commemorates the brave soldiers who lost their lives fighting for their country. The obelisk is located in the heart of the city and is a magnificent structure that commands attention from anyone who sees it. As you approach the obelisk, you are immediately struck by its grandeur and beauty. The obelisk is made of white marble and stands tall and proud against the blue sky. The monument is surrounded by lush green gardens and manicured lawns, which add to its charm. One of the things that I really appreciated about the National War Obelisk was the attention to detail in its design. The monument is adorned with intricate carvings and sculptures that depict scenes from the wars that the soldiers fought in. The carvings are so intricate that you can spend hours examining them and still not see everything. The obelisk also has a very serene and peaceful atmosphere. The gardens surrounding the monument are well maintained and provide a great place to sit and reflect on the sacrifices that the soldiers made. The obelisk is also well lit at night, which makes it an even more beautiful sight to behold. Overall, I would highly recommend a visit to the National War Obelisk in New Delhi. It is a must-see attraction for anyone interested in history and culture. The monument is a fitting tribute to the brave soldiers who gave their lives for their country, and it is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Indian people.

    This monument is spread over 40 acres of land and was built by the Government of India around the existing chhatri (canopy), near India Gate, New Delhi.[5] The memorial wall is flushed with the ground and in harmony with existing aesthetics.[6] It was completed in January 2019 and unveiled on 25 February 2019 in an inauguration ceremony held at the monument where Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi in the presence of Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) of India, and the three Chief of Staffs of the Indian Armed Forces, ignited the eternal flame of the Amar Jawan Jyoti (Flames of Eternal Soldiers) at the Amar Chakra under the main obelisk of the monument.[7]

    It stands tall, paying homage to India's brave armed forces. Its impressive design and polished surfaces create a powerful presence. The exhibition inside offers a captivating journey through India's military history, with artifacts and interactive displays that engage visitors.
