Amar Jawan Jyoti, War memorial at National War Memorial, India
The memorial features a reversed rifle topped with a war helmet, surrounded by four urns containing eternal flames near India Gate in New Delhi.
Inaugurated in 1972 following the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, the memorial served as India's primary war tribute until its 2022 relocation to the National War Memorial.
The memorial stands as a symbol of national remembrance where officials and citizens gather to honor the sacrifices of Indian military personnel.
Visitors can observe the ceremonial guard changes and participate in wreath-laying ceremonies during national holidays and special commemorative events.
The memorial's flame burned continuously for 50 years at India Gate before merging with the National War Memorial flame in January 2022.
