India Gate: The pride of Indian

in #history7 years ago

Hello Everyone !
I am back once again just in few hours couldn't resist myself from writing once again, this time I am here with just an Image clicked by me, phone @Iphone5s but this monument is pride of every Indian.
It is national monument of India. It is 42m high and it is popular area in evenings summer. It was built in memory of about 90,000 soldiers who becomes martyr in World War I and Third Anglo- Afghan War.One can sldo see the name of soldiers inscribed on the walls of India Gate. Before Independence there was a statue of King George V just in front of India Gate which was removed after Independence. This place is known for it's patriotic feelings. India Gate is counted among the largest war memorials in India.
Though historical importance is still attached to the monument, but India gate has also become a picnic spot for many Delhities, because of its surrounding lawns, fountains and the view of Rashtrapati Bhavan.
