Amar Jawan Jyoti, which translates to the "Flame of the Immortal Soldier," was established at India Gate in New Delhi on 26 January 1972. The ceremony took place on Republic Day, which is celebrated annually on January 26th in India.
Amar Jawan Jyoti serves as a memorial to honor and pay tribute to the soldiers of the Indian Armed Forces who sacrificed their lives for the country. The eternal flame symbolizes the indomitable spirit and bravery of the Indian military personnel.
The memorial consists of a black marble plinth, with a reversed rifle capped by a soldier's helmet symbolizing a war memorial. The flame is kept perpetually alive, and it serves as a reminder of the courage and sacrifice of the soldiers who gave their lives in defense of the nation.
Amar Jawan Jyoti is an important landmark and a site of reverence, particularly during national events and ceremonies, such as Republic Day celebrations, where the President of India pays homage to the martyrs.
