The Delhi Eye is a transportable Ferris wheel installation at Kalindi Kunj Park in the Okhla neighbourhood of Delhi, India.
The wheel has 36 air-conditioned cabins, each able to carry six passengers, from which Akshardham Temple, Humayun's Tomb, Lotus Temple, Qutb Minar and Red Fort are visible on a clear day. It was constructed by Dutch Wheels BV, a division of Vekoma Rides Manufacturing, and is operated by Izara Entertainment.
Conflicting reports credit the Delhi Eye with an overall height of either (approximately) 45 metres (148 ft) or 200 feet (61 m) (The Indian Express suggests both), and a diameter of "slightly over 40" m (130 ft).
