India Gate At Night


This year on my birthday (5th October), I along with 4 of my friends had dinner at a restaurant, and then planned to visit India Gate. This was the first time that I had visited India Gate at night, in the 15 years that I have spent in Delhi, India. 
Well, in the evening it shines bright, in the golden light, which is finally turned off at sharp 10:00 PM (IST), but although the golden lights of the bulbs are switched off but still the sparkling white light from the moon  is always on it.
We ate ice creams, while sitting on the lawns near India Gate, and finally left for our houses at around 10:30 PM. The view was amazing, which I want you people to see through this blog:

While you are enjoying the pictures, read the basic information about India Gate too:
Situated in the heart of New Delhi, India Gate commemorates the members of the erstwhile British Indian Army who lost their lives fighting for the Indian Empire in World War I and the Afghan Wars. Following India's independence, India Gate became the site of Indian Army's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, known as the Amar Jawan Jyoti.
The foundation stone was laid by His Royal Highness,the Duke of Connaught in 1921 and was designed by Edwin Lutyens.

Burning in a shrine under the arch of India Gate since 1971 is the Amar Jawan Jyoti (the flame of the immortal warrior), which marks the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
