Delhi Eye, Observation wheel in Okhla, India
Delhi Eye is an observation wheel located near Kalindi Kunj that rotates slowly to offer panoramic views of the city. It has 36 air-conditioned cabins designed to hold about 288 passengers total.
The project started in 2010 along the Yamuna riverbank, with approval processes taking three years to complete. The facility finally opened to the public in 2014.
The wheel offers views of important places like Akshardham Temple and Lotus Temple, which help visitors understand the religious and architectural meaning of Delhi. These landmarks shape daily life and the city's identity for people who live here.
Each ride lasts about 20 minutes and the wheel operates daily from morning until evening. Visitors should choose a clear day if they want to see the furthest views across the city.
The wheel was made by a Dutch company specializing in building observation structures. The cabins have screens inside that provide information and entertainment during the journey.
