Weekend outing and picnic with friends and family at India Gate, in Delhi

From the archive record

Delhiites enjoy weekend outing with friends and families at India Gate. Think about Delhi and you are bound to think about New Delhi India Gate. Initially called the All India War Memorial, this historical monument in New Delhi bears the memoir of 90000 Indian soldiers who were killed in First World War. Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, the construction work of India Gate was completed in the year 1931. It's located in Rajpath, the royal way which leads to the President's residence. The names of the martyrs are etched on the body of this 42 m high India Gate. The place is illuminated with thousands of lights and that creates a gracious impact at night. The edifice is surrounded by lush green and that together paired well is the intrinsic spirit of the India Gate. source: http://www.mapsofind
