The Monument to Carabobo, popularly known as the India of El Paraíso is a monument located in Caracas, Venezuela in commemoration of the Independence of that country after the Battle of Carabobo. It is the meeting point of four avenues, José Antonio Páez, O'Higgins, Teherán and Principal de La Vega, and it also serves as a border point between the parishes El Paraíso and La Vega. Its construction was ordered by President Cipriano Castro, but after being overthrown, President Juan Vicente Gómez was the one in charge of carrying out the project, so in 1910 the Venezuelan sculptor Eloy Palacios was selected to design the work. The initial intention was to place it in Campo Carabobo but finally decided to install it at the end of El Paraíso. It was inaugurated on July 5, 1911 by Gómez. Its original location was near the old El Paraíso racecourse, on what is now Av. Páez. It had to be relocated to make way for the construction of the branch of the La Araña Distributor that gives access to the tunnel that goes to the Cemetery.

India is beautiful! It is a symbol that I think very few people know what it means! Surrounded by people of bad tricks, passing people and some 'citizens of the community' who do not help! The semaphores are congested: Universal Law: let out to be able to pass! There are times that with 5 or 6 cars ahead, 6-7 traffic lights are lost through the crossings. This is the fault of bus drivers, private cars and pedestrians that do not comply with regulations. Welcome to Venezuela! Let's improve it !. All this during peak hours. Not everything is bad.
