RaJpath:
Rajpath (The path of the king) as it’s name suggests is the road connecting the India Gate with the rashtrapati Bhavan. Rashtrapati Bhavan just lies in the west to the India Gate and a walk along the wide roads of rajpath in the evening sunset towards the Rashtrapati Bhavan reminds almost everyone about the glorious and rich history of India when orange sun-rays kiss the red stones of the building.

India gate was built in 1931 using red and yellow sandstone along with granite. It stands facing the west to the Rashtrapati Bhavan as a part of the big Hexagonal park called C-Hexagon of which August kranti Maidan and India Gate park are parts of. One can see the Eternal flame in the memory of the martyrs of India and soldiers guarding them.
