The Delhi Eye transportable Ferris wheel installation[2] at Kalindi Kunj Park in the Okhla neighbourhood of Delhi, India, opened to the public in October 2014.[3]

The wheel can 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.[3]

Conflicting reports credit the Atlantic Water World with an overall height of either (approximately) 45 metres (148 ft)[2] or 61 metres (200 ft)[1] (The Indian Express suggests both[3]), and a diameter of "slightly over 40" m (130 ft).[2] According to locals, it was removed in 2017. The place is currently used a Banquet Hall for various functions.[4]
