It's a wonderful place to see the legacy and historic beauty of our country. The best time to visit India Gate is either dawn or dusk time to walk or jog at Kartavya path to experience it's beautiful peace and serenity.

"The India Gate is a war memorial located near Rajpath on the eastern edge of the 'ceremonial axis' of New Delhi. It stands as a tribute to 74,187 soldiers of the Indian Army who lost their lives between 1914 and 1921 during the First World War. I visited India Gate from New Delhi Railway Station, and it was an amazing experience. The monument is a beautiful tribute to the soldiers, and the area around it is well-maintained, perfect for a peaceful stroll or relaxing in the gardens. The iconic structure looks stunning, especially in the evening when it's lit up. A must-visit when in Delhi!"
