India Gate is at the eastern end of Rajpath (Kingsway), while the western end is Rashtrapati Bhavan (President's house), which is flanked by the two secretarate buildings (North block & South block). These three buildings sit upon a small rise, known as Raisina hill.

India Gate, a 42 m high stone memorial arch, bears the names of around 90 000 Indian army soldiers who died in WWI, the northeast frontier operations of the same time and the 1919 Afghan fiasco.

The building at the end of Sansad Marg is Sansad Bhavan (Parliament House). The building is a circular, colonnaded structure 171 m in diameter.
