India Gate - The India Gate is one of the largest war memorials in India. It stands as a tribute to 84,000 soldiers of the Indian Army who died between 1914 and 1921 in the First World War, in various locations including France, Flanders, Mesopotamia, Persia, East Africa, Gallipoli, and elsewhere in the Near and Far East, and the Third Anglo-Afghan War. The names of 13,300 servicemen, including some from the United Kingdom, are inscribed on the gate. Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, the gate evokes the architectural style of ancient Roman triumphal arches, such as the Arch of Constantine in Rome, and is often compared to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and the Gateway of India in Mumbai.
