The monument was dedicated to the nation 10 years later by the then Viceroy, Lord Irwin. Burning as a shrine under the arch of India Gate since January 26, 1971 is the "Amar Jawan Jyoti" (the flame of the immortal warrior), which marks the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, an Indian soldier killed during the First World War. It was unveiled by Indira Gandhi, in the wake of the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War. It has become both a source of pride for Indians as well as a major tourist site.
