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.
The monument was designed with a base of rocks that represent the territory liberated by Simón Bolívar, on the rocks there are three figures that represent the three republics that made up Greater Colombia: Nueva Granada (Colombia), Ecuador and Venezuela. On the rocks there is a palm tree with metal leaves on which a woman with the Phrygian cap stands, carrying the laurel and the torch as a symbol of Freedom.
In 2006 the space was completely renovated at the initiative of the Libertador Mayor's Office under the administration of Freddy Bernal.1
