Amer Jawan Jyoti
Amer jawan jyoti is basically a flame of immortal indian soldiers which is Burning in a shrine under the arch of India Gate since 1971. The shrine itself is a black marble cenotaph surmounted by a rifle standing on its barrel and crested by a soldier's helmet.
Each face of the cenotaph is inscribed in gold with the words
"Amar Jawan" (Immortal Warrior).
This cenotaph is placed on a pedestal with four continuously burning torches on its corners. It was unveiled in 1971. After the India-Pakistan war of 1971, the then Prime Minister of India Mrs. Indira Gandhi paid homage on behalf of the whole nation on the eve of 23rd republic day (26 January 1972).
Today, it is customary for the President and the Prime Minister, as well as visiting Guests of State, to pay homage at the site.
Particularly on each Republic Day, 26 January, the Prime Minister pays homage to the country's fallen soldiers along with Heads of Armed Forces, before joining the annual parade at the Rajpath. It is noteworthy here that the President of India and the chief guest do not take part in this ceremony on this day.
The flags represent the 3 branches of the Indian armed forces (Army,
Navy and Air Force), and a member of each force guards the gate and
tomb for 24 hours in rotation.
Standing
behind the gate is an empty canopy made out of sandstone, also designed
by Lutyens, and inspired by a 18th century Mahabalipuram pavilion.
Until the Independence of India in 1947 it contained the statue of King
George V which now stands in the Coronation Park, Delhi. There have
been a number of plans and calls to have a seated or standing statue of
Mahatma Gandhi installed here, which were subject to debate and have
not been agreed upon
