The Proposed Swarnim Vijay Monument at India Gate, New Delhi is envisioned as a contemporary commemorative landscape that symbolizes sacrifice, continuity, and national resilience. The central sculptural installation—formed as an interlinked, rising loop—serves as a powerful metaphor for unity and the enduring spirit of victory. Crafted in a weathered metal finish and inscribed with text, the monument becomes both an object of reflection and a tactile narrative of remembrance. Its placement at the heart of a circular plinth reinforces a sense of balance and focus, allowing the form to be experienced from multiple perspectives. The surrounding landscape is designed as a calm, inclusive civic space, organized through concentric pathways, soft lawns, and stepped seating that gently embrace the monument. Amphitheater-style terraces encourage pause, gathering, and contemplation, while mature trees and native planting provide shade and seasonal variation. The restrained material palette and open spatial arrangement ensure visual harmony with the historic context of India Gate, allowing the monument to stand out without overpowering its surroundings. Together, sculpture and landscape create a dignified public realm that honors victory not as a moment, but as a collective and enduring legacy.
