Comments:
India Gate commemorates the fallen of the Indian Army (British Indian Army, soldiers recruited in British-controlled India) in World War I and the Afghan Wars.
The pillars of the gate, erected in 1931, are engraved with the names of 13,300 martyrs (out of approximately 70,000).

The photograph of the gate (from which the sign was taken) was taken on the same day by the same photographer Click for a larger image
