The main view to enjoy from the Maidan is the 'Victoria Memorial' and it is India's finest tribute to the memory of the Raj. It was built totally of white marble in curious blend of Italian Renaissance-cum-Saracenic style. This memorial was designed as per Italian Renaissance-Mughal style. Designer was Sir William Emerson.
It can be compared only with the Taj Mahal if one consider it's pristine beauty. There is a memorial opened by the Prince of Wales in the year 1921. Sound and light shows are shown in the evening regularly. Show timing is 10 AM. to 5 PM. It is closed on Mondays.
