The iconic inverted helmet and rifle, which were a part of the Amar Jawan Jyoti war memorial at the India Gate in Delhi, was moved to the National War Memorial.
The National War Memorial is situated less than a kilometre away on the same stretch as the Amar Jawan Jyoti.
The memorial was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2019.
The move came four months after the ceremonial flame of the Amar Jawan Jyoti was extinguished for the first time since it was lit in 1972.
The flame was merged with the torch at the National War Memorial.
