Gurudwara Shri Bangla Sahib ji
A gurdwara, (literally "Door of the Guru") is a place of assembly and worship for Sikhs but its normal meaning is place of guru or "Home of guru". Any congregant (sometimes with specialized training, in which case they are known by the term granthi) may recite, sing, and explain the verses from the Guru Granth Sahib, in the presence of the rest of the congregation.
All gurdwaras have a langar hall, where people can eat free lacto-vegetarian food served by volunteers at the gurdwara. They may also have a medical facility room, library, nursery, classroom, meeting rooms, playground, sports ground, a gift shop, and finally a repair shop. A gurdwara can be identified from a distance by tall flagpoles bearing the Nishan Sahib, the Sikh flag.
Gurudwara Shri Bangla Sahib ji
Gurdvara, ("Vrata Gurua") je mesto okupljanja i obožavanja Sikha, ali njegovo normalno značenje je mesto gurua ili "Dom gurua". Svaki kongregant (ponekad sa specijalizovanom obukom, u kom slučaju su poznati pod terminom granthi) može recitovati, pevati i objašnjavati stihove iz Guru Granth Sahiba, u prisustvu ostalih vernika.
Sve gurdvare imaju langar salu, gde ljudi mogu da jedu besplatnu lakto-vegetarijansku hranu koju služe volonteri. Takođe mogu imati sobu za medicinske usluge, biblioteku, vrtić, učionicu, sale za sastanke, igralište, sportski teren, prodavnicu poklona i na kraju radionicu za popravke. Gurdvara se može identifikovati iz daljine po visokim jarbolima zastave na kojima se nalazi Nišan sahib, zastava Sika.
India Gate
The India Gate (formerly known as All India War Memorial) is a war memorial located on the eastern edge of the "ceremonial axis" of New Delhi.
It stands as a memorial to 74,187 soldiers of the Indian Army who died between 1914 and 1921 in the First World War, in France, Flanders, Mesopotamia, Persia, East Africa, Gallipoli and elsewhere in the Near and the Far East, and the Third Anglo-Afghan War. 13,300 servicemen's names, including some soldiers and officers from the United Kingdom, are inscribed on the gate. Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, the gate evokes the architectural style of the ancient Roman triumphal arches such as the Arch of Constantine in Rome, and later memorial arches; it is often compared to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, and the Gateway of India in Mumbai.
India Gate (Kapija Indije)
Kapija Indije (ranije poznata kao Sveinidjski Ratni Spomenik) je ratni spomenik koji se nalazi na istočnoj ivici „svečane osovine“ Nju Delhija.
Stoji kao spomen na 74.187 vojnika indijske vojske koji su poginuli između 1914. i 1921. u Prvom svetskom ratu, u Francuskoj, Flandriji, Mesopotamiji, Persiji, Istočnoj Africi, Galipolju i drugde na Bliskom i Dalekom istoku, i Trećem Anglo-avganistanskom ratu. Na kapiji je ispisano 13.300 imena vojnika, uključujući i neke vojnike i oficire iz Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva.
Dizajniran od strane Sir Edvina Lutiensa, kapija evocira arhitektonski stil drevnih rimskih trijumfalnih lukova kao što je Konstantinov luk u Rimu, a kasnije i memorijalni lukovi; često se poredi sa Trijumfalnom Kapijom u Parizu i Vratima Indije u Mumbaiju.
