    Went to Mughal Garden in afternoon slot of 2pm. It is very beautiful. Really different and refreshing place. You have to do online booking. Booking open 7 days prior. Tickets get over very quickly. Better to book at 12am. Go with minimum stuff with you. Entrance and first few gardens are boring. Initially we thought that it is below average and its waste of time. But when we reached the main garden, we were pleasantly surprised by the size and cleanliness of the place. Its really colourful and if you like photography, then you will love it. I don't like plants and flowers as such, but I'm really happy I made an effort to go there. It's peaceful walk, wear comfortable shoes. Go in good weather.

    One of the most elegant places in India. Area is huge. There is lots of history associated with this place. Originally built by Britishers. It was after independence used as president's house. Surrounded with great gardens, open areas, staff houses, museums and many more offices as well. Every Indian should visit this place. You can book your visit online that are two circuits available and select one of them. Circuit 1 Will give you chance to visit inside the actual house and circuit 2 will provide you chance to see museums.

    The Rashtrapati Bhavan is the official residence of the President of India and is a rambling mansion with breath taking architecture. Spread over 320 acres, the vast grounds of the Rashtrapati Bhavan are home not only the head of state, but also staff quarters, stables, offices and the beautiful and famed Mughal Gardens. The Rashtrapati Bhavan was designed by British architect, Edwin Lutyens and is a unique amalgamation of Mughal and European architecture. Such is the grandeur of this mansion that very few residences of heads of states from around the world can match up to the extravagance that is the Rashtrapati Bhavan. Situated at the eastern edge of Rajpath, the Rashtrapati Bhavan faces the India Gate, which lies at the Western edge of the same road. On either side of the Rashtrapati Bhavan lie the North Block and South Block, which house various ministries of the Government of India. The lavish Mughal Gardens lie behind the North Block and South Block, which opens to the public from mid-February to mid-March. Apart from this you can also enjoy a guided tour of a few section of the Rashtrapati Bhavan, such as the Durbar Hall, Lutyens’ Gallery, Long Drawing Room, Ashoka Hall, Children’s Gallery and Gift Museum which have now been opened to the public. Opening Closing Time Friday to Sunday 9 am to 4 pm. The Mughal Gardens remain closed on Mondays. Entrance Fee Entry to the Rashtrapati Bhavan and the Mughal Gardens is free. Location Rajpath, New Delhi

    The presidential palace/gardens with an incredible atmosphere. Every corner seems to have the breath of a king who just stepped out for a while. Completely self-contained city within a city. I hit the hours when there were no tourists. Incredible silence and a huge space that surrounds but doesn't crush. One wants to look and absorb this architecture, these wide fields and roads and alleys. The interior furnishings are striking in their passion, but also in their sophistication. Must see with private guide!

    Rashtrapati Bhawan is a famous monument of the British Empire which was said to be the palace of the Viceroy of India. It is now the home of the President of India. Rashtrapati Bhavan was the creation of architects of exceptional imagination and masterful, Sir Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker. It was Sir Lutyens who conceptualized the H shaped building, covering an area of 5 acres on a 330 acre estate. This mansion has a total of 340 rooms spread over four floors, 2.5 kilometres of corridors and 190 acres of garden area. This is one of the majestic place to visit.

    The President's Bodyguard (PBG), raised in 1773, is the senior most Regiment of the Indian Army. It is a Regiment carrying out ceremonial duties for the President of India. The PBG personnel are excellent horsemen, capable tank men and paratroopers. The Change of Guard ceremony is a military tradition whose origins are lost in antiquity. From time immemorial, guards and sentries at palaces, forts and defense establishments change periodically to enable a fresh body of troops to take charge. At Rashtrapati Bhavan the Ceremonial Army Guard battalion is responsible for providing ceremonial guards and sentries for the President of India.

  • 4/5 Pramod S. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best things about this garden is that it is well-maintained and the flowers are arranged in a way that makes the experience truly magical. It's clear that a lot of thought and care has gone into the design of the garden, and it shows in every detail. In addition to the gorgeous flowers, there were plenty of stalls selling everything from gardening tools to beautiful flower arrangements. I found myself perusing the various stalls and enjoying the lively atmosphere. It's clear that this garden is not just a beautiful space, but a thriving community hub as well. To enter the garden, you do need to purchase a ticket, but in my opinion, it's worth every penny. The experience of strolling through the garden, taking in the vibrant colors and fragrances, is truly unforgettable. I could have spent hours just wandering through the various paths and taking in the sights and smells.

    Rashtrapati Bhavan, home to the President of the world’s largest democracy, epitomizes India’s strength, its democratic traditions and secular character. Rashtrapati Bhavan was the creation of architects of exceptional imagination and masterfulness, Sir Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker. It was Sir Lutyens who conceptualized the H shaped building, covering an area of 5 acres on a 330 acre estate. This mansion has a total of 340 rooms spread over four floors, 2.5 kilometres of corridors and 190 acres of garden area. Painstaking efforts of thousands of labourers including masons, carpenters, artists, carvers, and cutters saw the completion of this masterwork in the year 1929. Originally built as the residence for the Viceroy of India, Viceroy's House as it was then called, has metamorphosed into today’s Rashtrapati Bhavan. From being a symbol of imperial domination and power, it is today emblematic of Indian democracy and its secular, plural and inclusive traditions. Former President of India, Shri R. Venkataraman has rightly said, “Nature and man, rock and architecture, have rarely collaborated to so fine a purpose as in the fashioning of the magnificent Rashtrapati Bhavan.” When constructed, it was called the Viceroy’s House. The name changed to Government House on August 15, 1947 when India became independent. Finally, its name was changed to Rashtrapati Bhavan during the term of President Dr. Rajendra Prasad. The Rashtrapati Bhavan has served as a home to Viceroy Lord Irwin and subsequently to other Viceroys of India till Lord Mountbatten, the last British Viceroy and the first Governor-General of independent India in 1947. Lord Mountbatten administered the oath of Prime Minister to Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru under the Central Dome of Rashtrapati Bhavan in 1947. C. Rajagopalachari, the first Indian Governor-General also took oath under the Central Dome on June 21, 1948 and became the first Indian to reside at the Government House, as it was then called. The grandeur of this majestic presidential palace, however, was humbled by the very modest gestures of Rajagopalachari. Finding the Viceroy’s room too royal to stay, he shifted to smaller rooms (now called the Family Wing of the Rashtrapati Bhavan) for his personal use. This has been followed by all subsequent residents of the Bhavan. The erstwhile Viceroy’s Rooms have been converted into the Guest Wing for stay of Heads of State and Government and their delegations. As the first president of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad took Rashtrapati Bhavan as his abode in the year 1950 after assuming office. Little known is the fact that Mahatma Gandhi, much before the political heads of independent India, was an early visitor to the newly constructed Viceroy’s House. The Viceroy had invited him for a meeting which was met with dissent by Winston Churchill. Nevertheless, Mahatma Gandhi carried with him salt to add to his tea as a mark of protest against the British Salt tax. The series of meetings between Mahatma Gandhi and Lord Irwin finally culminated in the famous Gandhi Irwin pact that was signed on March 5, 1931. Rashtrapati Bhavan has since independence hosted defence investiture ceremonies, swearing in of its leaders, honoured its bravehearts and achievers, has heard the speeches of world leaders, signed pacts and treaties with various countries, celebrated India’s Independence and Republic Day functions along with other festivals. The gates of Lutyens’ masterpiece Delhi which he described as “one complete organism, perfect and inseparable” have now been opened for the public on the initiative of Former President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee since August, 2012. The journey through this work of art is divided into three circuits. Circuit 1 covers the Main Building and Central Lawn of Rashtrapati Bhavan including its premier rooms like the Ashok Hall, Durbar Hall, Banquet Hall, its Drawing Rooms and many more. Circuit 2 consists of the tour of the Rashtrapati Bhavan Museum Complex, while Circuit 3 promises the tour of Rashtrapati Bhavan’s famous gardens- The Mughal Garden

  • 5/5 Pritiranjan M. 4 months ago on Google • 203 reviews
    Excellent place to visit. Treat to eyes had very good time too good place I will recommend everyone to visit.1)The seat of power, and a building that holds historical significance. A must visit for anyone and everyone Indian to experience the grandeur of Indias seat of power. 2)The only let down is the interaction one is forced to with the uncouth and untrained staff. Their care two hoots attitude is very irritating. It starts with the entry at the gate with the security staffs demeanour. At the reception, one is made to stand in queue for several excruciating minutes with the staff struggling with their gate pass system. It feels like the sarkari daftar of the 80s. 3) One cannot walk through the route unguided, but the guide is in a hurry reciting her script in hindi only for those who can catch up with her while she runs from start to finish.

  • 5/5 Pranjalee 3 years ago on Google
    To plan a visit inside the bhavan it is important to book the tickets atleast 1month before the visit date from the official rashtrapati bhavan website. The entire process of the visitation was well planned and carried out by them. Guides are available in hindi and english both. It is a must visit place in Delhi. Make sure to carry all the necessary identification documents required.

    Presidential Palace originally Viceroy's House and later Government House is the official residence of the President of India at the western end of Rajpath in New Delhi, India. Rashtrapati Bhavan may refer to only the 340-room main building that has the president's official residence, including reception halls, guest rooms and offices, also called the mansion; it may also refer to the entire 130-hectare (320-acre) Presidential Estate that additionally includes the presidential gardens, large open spaces, residences of bodyguards and staff, stables, other offices and utilities within its perimeter walls. In terms of area, it is the largest residence of any head of state in the world.The other presidential homes are the Rashtrapati Nilayam in Hyderabad, Telangana and The Retreat Building in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh.

  • 5/5 Himanshu g. 3 years ago on Google
    Formerly knows as viceroy palace, rastrapati bhavan is very beautiful place. Its iconic house of an indian who is considered as the head of our nation. Its easily accessible through metro or bus. One should always remember that no vehicle is allowed inside the rastrapati premises. You will have to walk atleast 1km to reach this place by metro and atleast 500meters if you boarded bus. But this place worth a visit, as it would be very knowledgeable as well as exciting as you'll be visiting the house of indian president.

    Rashtrapati Bhavan, formerly known as the Viceroy's House, is the official residence of the President of India. Located in New Delhi, it is a grand architectural marvel and one of the most iconic landmarks in the city. The construction of Rashtrapati Bhavan was initiated in 1912 and completed in 1929. It was designed by renowned British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, who also played a significant role in designing other prominent structures in Delhi. The building showcases a blend of classical and Indian architectural styles, reflecting the colonial influence of the time. Spread over an extensive area of 330 acres, Rashtrapati Bhavan is an impressive structure with four floors and 340 rooms. It is characterized by its imposing central dome, tall columns, and extensive use of red and cream sandstone. The building stands as a symbol of power and authority, representing the highest office in the Indian government. The interiors of Rashtrapati Bhavan are equally impressive, featuring lavish halls, grand reception rooms, and intricately designed ceilings. The Durbar Hall, with its chandeliers, royal thrones, and ornate decorations, is a notable highlight. The building also houses a presidential library, museum, and art gallery, showcasing a collection of artifacts and artworks that depict India's rich cultural heritage.

It was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker and stands on a 330 acre estate. It took seventeen years to build this presidential palace which was completed in the year 1929. Almost seven hundred million bricks and three million cubic feet of stone were used in building this architectural marvel that has 2.5 kilometers of corridors and 190 acres of garden area.

The famous Mughal Gardens of the Rashtrapati Bhavan cover an area of 15 acres and have 159 celebrated varieties of roses, 60 varieties of bougainvillea and many other verities of flowers.

    my recent visit to the Rashtrapati Bhavan in Delhi, I was captivated by its historical significance and architectural magnificence. Here's a concise review of my enriching experience: Online Booking: I secured my entry ticket online at a reasonable fee of 50 rupees per person, streamlining the admission process. Guided Tour: A knowledgeable tour guide met us at the reception, leading us on an insightful journey through the Rashtrapati Bhavan. Iconic Darbar Hall: The Darbar Hall, often seen on television during awards ceremonies, stands as a regal testament to the nation's history. Ashoka Hall Significance: Witnessing the Ashoka Hall, where the oaths of Chief Ministers and Chief Justices of India are taken, offers a glimpse into momentous ceremonies. Elegant Dining Hall: The spacious dining hall accommodates 114 people at once, and the array of meeting rooms caters to various purposes. Photography Guidelines: While photography isn't allowed inside, capturing the exterior beauty is encouraged. Canteen Absence: No canteen facilities are available within the premises, so come prepared with snacks or eat beforehand. Water Cooler Access: A water cooler at the reception provides refreshment during your visit. Identification Requirement: Make sure to carry your Aadhar card for identification; entry without proper identification isn't permitted. Stringent Security Checks: Security checks are thorough due to the high-profile nature of the location. Your cooperation is essential. High-Level Security: Understand that security personnel are vigilant and monitoring movement, maintaining a respectful demeanor is advised. Friendly Assistance: Polite interactions with security staff can yield helpful assistance if needed. Early Morning Advantage: Opt for an early morning slot to beat the crowds and enjoy the serene surroundings. Pack Nourishment: Carry breakfast, lunch, or fruits to keep energy levels up throughout your visit. Convenient Commute: The Central Secretariat metro station is the nearest option, and parking facilities are available for those arriving by vehicle. Museum Recommendation: I suggest booking the Rashtrapati Bhavan Museum as well. It showcases presidential artifacts, including the President's car, moonstone, and awards. Historical Treasures: Explore the museum's main attractions, such as Abdul Kalam's achievements, awards, and chakras bestowed by the President. Memorable Experience: The Rashtrapati Bhavan tour offers a glimpse into the nation's heart, combining history, architecture, and governance. In conclusion, my visit to the Rashtrapati Bhavan was truly enlightening. With its opulent interiors, historical significance, and insightful guided tour, it's a journey worth embarking upon. Just remember to adhere to security protocols and plan your visit for the early hours to enjoy a peaceful exploration of this iconic landmark.

    The Rashtrapati Bhavan, previously known as Viceroy's House, stands as the official residence of the President of India. Nestled at the western end of Rajpath, on Raisina Hill in New Delhi, India, this architectural marvel was erected during the height of the British Empire. Access to this historic site is highly regulated and stringent. However, visitors can gain access to the Bhavan by reserving tickets through the official website. Complimentary tours are offered within the Bhawan, granting you the opportunity to visit notable areas such as Durbar Hall, Ashok Hall, Banquet Hall, and more. It's important to note that photography inside is strictly prohibited.

    The Rashtrapati Bhavan (About this soundpronunciation (help·info), "rásh-tra-pa-ti bha-vun"; "Presidential Palace", formerly Viceroy's House) is the official residence of the President of India located at the Western end of Rajpath in New Delhi, India. Rashtrapati Bhavan may refer to only the 340-room main building that has the president's official residence, including reception halls, guest rooms and offices, also called the mansion; it may also refer to the entire 130-hectare (320 acre) Presidential Estate that additionally includes huge presidential gardens (Mughal Gardens), large open spaces, residences of bodyguards and staff, stables, other offices and utilities within its perimeter walls. In terms of area, it is the largest residence of any head of state in the world.The Governor-General of Fort William resided in Belvedere House, Calcutta, until the early nineteenth century, when Government House, Calcutta (now Raj Bhavan, Kolkata) was constructed. Lord Wellesley, who is reputed to have said that ‘India should be governed from a palace, not from a country house’, ordered the construction of a grand mansion between 1799 and 1803 and in 1854, the Lieutenant Governor of Bengal took up residence there. The decision to build a residence in New Delhi for the British Viceroy was taken after it was decided during the Delhi Durbar in December 1911 that the capital of India would be relocated from Calcutta to Delhi. When the plan for a new city, New Delhi, adjacent to end south of Old Delhi, was developed after the Delhi Durbar, the new palace for the Viceroy of India was given an enormous size and prominent position. About 4,000 acres of land was acquired to begin the construction of Viceroy's House, as it was originally called, and adjacent Secretariat Building between 1911 and 1916 by relocating Raisina and Malcha villages that existed there and their 300 families under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894.

    The Rashtrapati Bhavan in Delhi is a magnificent symbol of India's democracy and heritage. Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, its stunning architecture and Mughal Gardens make it a must-visit.

    Etched to the heart of Central Delhi from the year 1929 is the most wonderful landmark in the history of Indian architecture, Rashtrapati Bhavan. Also known by the name of Presidential Residence and Viceroy’s House, this tourist attraction is the official home of the President. Looking back in history we get to know that the Rashtrapati Bhavan was sculpted as the residence of British Viceroy when the decision of making Delhi the new capital was made firm. It not only took 17 years to complete this marvel, but the rigorous efforts of Edwin Landseer Lutyens, the British architect who turned his sketches and thoughts into what he actually sent to Herbert Baker in the year 1912. 26 January 1950 was the time when the residence was renamed as Rashtrapati Bhawan under the rule of the first President of India, Rajendra Prasad. What we see now is a massive architectural marvel which was built during the time when Edwardian Baroque style of architecture was prominent. The style emphasised on showcasing heavy classical motifs which symbolised imperial authority and legacy. Spread over an area of 321 acre, this tourist attraction has 340 rooms, huge open space, Mughal Gardens to admire, reception halls, guest rooms, stables, offices, residence for staff and bodyguards, and much more. All of which bestows upon it the honour of being one of the world’s largest residences of a head.

    I have heard alot about Mughal Gardens' variety of flowers including Black Rose etc. But sorry to say I have not saw unseen flowers. There are many varieties which you don't usually saw but can be seen in other such gardens. Restrictions also keep you away from the flowers and plants. It is possible that we can't see many varieties due to such restrictions. Overall you can watch it once. Butvyes it has picturesque location.

    Rashtrapati Bhavan, home to the President of the world’s largest democracy, epitomizes India’s strength, its democratic traditions and secular character. Rashtrapati Bhavan was the creation of architects of exceptional imagination and masterfulness, Sir Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker. It was Sir Lutyens who conceptualized the H shaped building, covering an area of 5 acres on a 330 acre estate. This mansion has a total of 340 rooms spread over four floors, 2.5 kilometres of corridors and 190 acres of garden area. Painstaking efforts of thousands of labourers including masons, carpenters, artists, carvers, and cutters saw the completion of this masterwork in the year 1929. Originally built as the residence for the Viceroy of India, Viceroy's House as it was then called, has metamorphosed into today’s Rashtrapati Bhavan. From being a symbol of imperial domination and power, it is today emblematic of Indian democracy and its secular, plural and inclusive traditions. Former President of India, Shri R. Venkataraman has rightly said, “Nature and man, rock and architecture, have rarely collaborated to so fine a purpose as in the fashioning of the magnificent Rashtrapati Bhavan.” When constructed, it was called the Viceroy’s House. The name changed to Government House on August 15, 1947 when India became independent. Finally, its name was changed to Rashtrapati Bhavan during the term of President Dr. Rajendra Prasad. The Rashtrapati Bhavan has served as a home to Viceroy Lord Irwin and subsequently to other Viceroys of India till Lord Mountbatten, the last British Viceroy and the first Governor-General of independent India in 1947. Lord Mountbatten administered the oath of Prime Minister to Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru under the Central Dome of Rashtrapati Bhavan in 1947. C. Rajagopalachari, the first Indian Governor-General also took oath under the Central Dome on June 21, 1948 and became the first Indian to reside at the Government House, as it was then called. The grandeur of this majestic presidential palace, however, was humbled by the very modest gestures of Rajagopalachari. Finding the Viceroy’s room too royal to stay, he shifted to smaller rooms (now called the Family Wing of the Rashtrapati Bhavan) for his personal use. This has been followed by all subsequent residents of the Bhavan. The erstwhile Viceroy’s Rooms have been converted into the Guest Wing for stay of Heads of State and Government and their delegations. As the first president of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad took Rashtrapati Bhavan as his abode in the year 1950 after assuming office. Little known is the fact that Mahatma Gandhi, much before the political heads of independent India, was an early visitor to the newly constructed Viceroy’s House. The Viceroy had invited him for a meeting which was met with dissent by Winston Churchill. Nevertheless, Mahatma Gandhi carried with him salt to add to his tea as a mark of protest against the British Salt tax. The series of meetings between Mahatma Gandhi and Lord Irwin finally culminated in the famous Gandhi Irwin pact that was signed on March 5, 1931. Rashtrapati Bhavan has since independence hosted defence investiture ceremonies, swearing in of its leaders, honoured its bravehearts and achievers, has heard the speeches of world leaders, signed pacts and treaties with various countries, celebrated India’s Independence and Republic Day functions along with other festivals. The gates of Lutyens’ masterpiece Delhi which he described as “one complete organism, perfect and inseparable” have now been opened for the public on the initiative of Former President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee since August, 2012.

    (Translated by Google) Rashtrapati Bhavan is the official residence of the President of the Government of India. The current President of India does not live in the rooms where the Viceroys used to live, but rather in the guest room. Here the President meets the visitor. After 25 July 2017 His Excellency Ramnath Kovind became the President of India. (Original) राष्ट्रपति भवन भारत सरकार के राष्ट्रपति का सरकारी आवास है। वर्तमान भारत के राष्ट्रपति, उन कक्षों में नहीं रहते, जहां वाइसरॉय रहते थे, बल्कि वे अतिथि-कक्ष में रहते हैं। यहाँ राष्ट्रपति आगन्तुक से मिलते है। 25 जुलाई 2017 उपरांत महामहिम रामनाथ कोविंद भारत के राष्ट्रपति बनाये ।

    North East festival at Rashtrapati Bhawan (Vividhta ka Amrit Mahotsav) was held between 9-11 Feb, 2024. I thought it would be like any other usual festival with shopping options, few cultural programs, food ...however, I was pleasantly surprised. The cultural programs were spectacular, giving glimpses of the tribal cultures, dances, martial arts and much more...it was something i had not seen/experienced earlier. The crowds were enthralled by the performances. It was followed by rock band from Nagaland, enjoyed by everyone especially the youngsters. Theme based pavilions from the 8 states displayed unique products including stylish dresses, jewellery, bags, scented candles, local packaged food items, herbs and much more.... Delhites are foodies and as expected the food court was jam packed, everyone relishing the delicacies from different north eastern states. All in all, an excellent day spent in the company of beautiful, vibrant fellow citizens from north east. Events like these help people from all regions to mingle, enjoy each others customs, contribute towards National Integration. Kudos to the organisers. I hope it becomes an Yearly affair.

    In the morning, the Rashtrapati Bhavan and the Parliament look very typical, but recently in 2017, Sumitra Mahajan advocated for change of the lighting at these places to LEDs to save electricity. Thus this amazing lighting at night, where the colours constantly change. They are bright, mesmerizing, and a delight to look at. A night photographer's dream come true, cross the place at night while driving and stop by the side of the road, away from traffic, and walk around this spectacle. However don't cause a nuisance as security is high. Perfect place to come after dinner at Connaught Place.

    72nd R-Day parade ended at venue where first Republic Day celebrations were held NEW DELHI: The ceremonial parade at the heavily curtailed 72nd Republic Day celebrations at Rajpath this year ended at the National Stadium, the venue where the very first grand event was held on January 26, 1950 to declare India’s transition from a Dominion to a Republic. The maiden celebrations marking the birth of the Republic of India was not held on Rajpath, the historical avenue that has over time become synonymous with the anniversary ceremony, but it was an amphitheatre named after an erstwhile Viceroy that became the venue for the festivities after the country got its first president. On Tuesday, only 25,000 spectators compared to the 1.25 lakh people last year watched the mega event from the sidelines of the boulevard, as the parade wended its way to culminate at the National Stadium instead of the regular end point at the Red Fort, in view of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was thus the life of a nation as a republic coming full circle, spanning 71 years, as the ceremonial parade ended at the stadium which was known as the Irwin Amphitheatre when the first Republic Day celebrations were hosted there in 1950. According to Google Arts and Culture website, the stadium was built in 1933 as a gift to Delhi from the Maharaja of Bhavnagar and named after former Viceroy of India, Lord Irwin, who had inaugurated the new British capital ‘New Delhi’ in February 1931 during his viceroyalty. Designed by Robert Torr Russell, also the architect of the iconic Connaught Place in central Delhi, the amphitheatre was renamed to the National Stadium in 1951 just before the Asian Games was hosted. In 2002, Major Dhyan Chand’s name was affixed in honour of the hockey legend. On the historic day of January 26, 1950, hours before the celebrations at the Irwin Amphitheatre, India, after having thrown off the British colonial yoke in 1947, assumed the mantle of a “Sovereign Democratic Republic”. “At the most solemn ceremony, held in the brilliantly lit and high domes of Durbar Hall at Government House, India was declared a Sovereign Democratic Republic exactly at 18 minutes past 10 on the morning of Thursday, January 26, 1950. Six minutes later, Dr Rajendra Prasad was sworn in as president,” reported Fauji Akhbar (now Sainik Samachar) in its article titled ‘Birth of a Republic’ on February 4, the same year. “The birth of Indian Republic and the installation of its first president were announced by a salute of 31 guns shortly after 10:30 am,” reported the publication. In an impressive swearing-in ceremony, the retiring Governor-general, C Rajagopalachari, read out the proclamation of the Republic of “India, that is, Bharat”. “… And whereas it has been declared by the said Constitution that India, that is, Bharat, shall be a Union of States comprising within the Union the territories which were hitherto the Governor’s provinces, the Indian states and the Chief Commissioners’ provinces,” the military journal quoted the last Governor-General’s speech. The president then took the oath and made a brief speech, first in Hindi and then in English. “Today, for the first time in our long and chequered history we find the whole of this vast land from Kashmir in the north to Cape Comorin in the South, from Kathiawad and Kutch in the west to Coconada and Kamrup in the east, brought together under the jurisdiction of one Constitution and one Union, which takes over the responsibility for the welfare of more than 320 million men and women that inhabit it,” President Prasad said in his historic speech. Though India had been used to pomp and pageantry having witnessed three imperial durbars before Independence, but the ceremonial splendour of that occasion was very special as the president’s procession wound through the Delhi streets in a symbolic gesture of coming-of-age of a nation. The over 100-year-old journal had said, “The president drove out of the Government House (now Rastrapati Bhawan) in state exactly at 2:30 pm in a 35-year-old coach specially renovated

    (Translated by Google) Republican House, people can get permission and look around. There is a very beautiful park. Security is high. (Original) குடியரசு மாளிகை, மக்கள் அனுமதி பெற்று சுற்றி பார்க்கலாம். மிக அழகான பூங்கா உள்ளது. பாதுகாப்பு அதிகம்.

    Hello Friends I am Jitender Singh , today i am going to sharing my review with you actually Rashtrapati bhawan is a very Beautiful and historical bhawan in indian history when you visit here, you know some interesting and knowledgable facts(from the guides present inside the premises) which increase your GK as well your curiosity about indian history, and they don't charge any fees for guide it is free of cost. All the things places and monuments shown by the guides are very beautiful and ancient so listen carefully the things they brief you, it will help u a lot also don't forget to register yourself by online booking, u can also visit the museum, u must visit when u came here. One more thing i want to say that please don't bring to much stuff and electronic gadgets with you because all these type of things are strictly prohibited, u can keep them in your vehicle safely if u bring yr own vehicle. After entering into the premise be calm and patient, if you came with small children and babies keep an eye on them because usually guide prepare a group of 10 to 15 people for showing them the all RPB house and Garden visit so there is a chance that yr children gone somewhere else by mistake because they are very innocent as well as agile, no need to worry they didn't lost there actually i just want to say because if they separate from the group by mistake so it will just waste your time and spoil the fun of visiting the premise so just be a little bit attentive otherwise all is well you people and yr family ones enjoys the visit, i hope you enjoy your visit all the best. And if u have still have any doubt please ask me anytime i'll be there , Always there where need care👍🙋‍♂️

    I had the privilege of visiting and taking a tour of the majestic Rashtrapati Bhawan. It was informed that it is the second largest home of any head of the state after Turkey. Its highest point is as high as a 40 storey building. The Bhawan is divided into 4 levels and has many conference rooms, meeting rooms, etc. The Mughal Gardens are worth seeing and they are probably open for viewing in feb-mar every year. Gate 37 is usually the entry point on Dara Shikoh road earlier known as Dalhousie Road.

    . This visit was a part of the 7 day–Golden Triangle trip; I was with my family & friends from London. . The first destination of the trip. . The transport provider dropped us near the location & parked in the parking lot. . We walked a couple of metres to reach the location . As tourists, we were not allowed to reach close to the building - we only saw it from a distance, which is clear from the photo added. . Of course, for a photo frame, the current Parliament Mandir also is visible. . We spent around half an hour with a few shots taken from the nearby garden

    Rashtrapati Bhavan also known as President House is official residence of the President of India. It is Located in New Delhi, it was designed by architect Sir Edwin Lutyens and constructed in 1912–29. When Rashtrapati Bhavan was built, it was known as the Viceroy’s House, derived from the British viceroys who ruled India in the final years of the Raj. Its construction followed the decision to move the capital of India from Calcutta to Delhi. The principal architects of the new city were Lutyens and Sir Herbert Baker. Rashtrapati Bhavan is located at the Raisina Hill end of the long, formal Rajpath (renamed Kartavya Path in 2022), which runs from India Gate.The house is more than 600 feet (183 meters) long and covers 4.5 acres (1.8 hectares). The colors of the stone used for the house are subtle and carefully considered: the lower parts are in deep red sandstone, and the upper parts are cream. A thin, red stone line is inserted at the parapets, which contrasts strikingly with the blue sky. Here us also a garden outside which is formerly know as "The Mughal Garden" now known as Amrit Udyan designed by Lutyens. To Visit Rashtrapati Bhawan there are three circuits. You can visit first and second circuit all days except Monday and Gazetted Holidays.The third circuit opens only during Udyan Utsav.The Change of Guard Ceremony will be carried out on every Saturday.
