Rashtrapati Bhavan, also known as the President House, is the official residence of the President of India and a symbol of the country’s rich heritage and democratic ethos. Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker, this magnificent H-shaped building showcases an exquisite blend of traditional charm and modern architecture. Spread over a sprawling 330-acre estate in Delhi, with only 5 acres covered, it boasts 340 rooms, including the President’s official residence, offices, guest rooms, and reception halls. The expansive presidential gardens, notably the Mughal Garden, add to its grandeur. Construction began in 1912 and was completed in 1929. Visitors can explore this iconic landmark and marvel at its architectural marvels while imbibing the essence of India’s history and democratic values.
