Rashtrapati Bhavan

We had a wonderful visit to Rashtrapati Bhavan. Rachana was our scholar guide who explained the interesting information about various features. She made our tour really interesting. Thanks to her the tour became a high point of our visit to Delhi. It felt nice to experience the state grandeur.

A must do activity when you are in Delhi. A truly immersive experience to indulge in the prestigious and opulent Rashtrapati Bhavan. Tours are to be prebooked online with a nominal fee of 50 rupees per head (for Indians). These guides tours are available at intervals of every hour in two languages - hindi and english. The guides are very informative and polite. A must have experience for all those who live to explore history, art and politics.

I recently got the chance to visit Rashtrapati Bhavan in Delhi all by myself, and it turned out to be one of the most fascinating solo experiences I’ve had. Being the official residence of the President of India, the place already carries a sense of grandeur, but seeing it in person was something else entirely. The first thing that struck me was the massive scale of the building. Designed by Edwin Lutyens, its architecture blends Indian and European styles beautifully. Walking along the pathways, I couldn’t help but admire the perfectly maintained lawns and the symmetrical structure of the building. The iconic dome stood tall and impressive, making me pause just to take it all in. I also got to explore the Mughal Gardens (now called Amrit Udyan), which were absolutely stunning. The colorful flowers, fountains, and neatly trimmed hedges made the place feel almost dreamlike. Sitting alone on a bench there gave me a rare moment of calm right in the heart of Delhi. Since I went alone, I could move at my own pace—reading little details, taking photos, and just observing the surroundings without distraction. Security was understandably tight, but everything was organized well, making the visit smooth. What I liked most was the mix of history, architecture, and serenity that Rashtrapati Bhavan offers. It’s not just a building; it’s a symbol of India’s heritage and democracy. Visiting it solo gave me the chance to truly appreciate its grandeur and peaceful atmosphere.

The architecture is impressive, with vast open spaces, well-maintained lawns, and a calm, dignified atmosphere. The design beautifully blends Indian and British architectural styles. Visiting the Amrit Udyan (formerly Mughal Gardens) is a highlight, especially during the public opening season.

Originally known as the Viceroy’s House, Rashtrapati Bhavan stands as a timeless masterpiece of British-era architecture blended with Indian design. The grand domes, vast courtyards, and beautiful gardens reflect India’s glorious history and independence journey. A must-visit for anyone interested in heritage and architecture!

Beautiful building in New Delhi. It has been the official residence of the Indian president. It is a massive building surrounded by a beautiful garden and various pathways. There are lots armed security men everywhere
