The city with its multi-faceted culture can aptly said to be a microcosm of the whole nation. Visit to the city offers a unique two-in-one experience as New Delhi with its wide roads and high rise buildings gives a feel of being in a contemporary city whereas a stroll down the streets of Old Delhi can easily take one to a bygone era with its narrow lanes and old &#8216;havelis&#8217;. Delhi has thousands of historical monuments and places of religious importance.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_665\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-665\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-665\" src=\"http:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_0172.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_0172.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_0172-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_0172-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_0172-147x110.jpg 147w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_0172-333x250.jpg 333w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_0172-725x544.jpg 725w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-665\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">India Gate<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>India Gate, an important monument of the city, is a memorial built in commemoration of more than 80,000 Indian soldiers who were killed during World War I. The monument is an imposing 42 meters high arch and was designed by the famous architect Edwin Lutyens. India gate was earlier named All India War Memorial. The design of India gate is almost similar to its French counterpart war memorial, the Arc-de-Triomphe.<\/p><div id=\"archi-637451\" class=\"archi-in-content-square archi-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Square responsive -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1313562808736279\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2313495938\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/div><div id=\"archi-1004886388\" class=\"archi-in-content-square-2 archi-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Square responsive -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1313562808736279\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2313495938\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>The building is made of red stone that rises in stages into a huge moulding.

There is a shallow domed bowl at the top, which was intended to be filled with burning oil at special occasions.<\/p>\n<p>At the base of the India gate there is another memorial, the Amar Jawan Jyoti that was added after independence.
