Rashtrapati Bhavan is the President of India’s official residence, located at the western end of Rajpath, Raisina Hill, New Delhi, India. It is the largest home of any Indian head of state in terms of square footage.
The President of the largest democracy in the world resides in Rashtrapati Bhavan, which embodies India’s power, democratic traditions, and secular nature.
This masterpiece was finished in 1929 thanks to the painstaking labour of thousands of workers, including masons, carpenters, artists, carvers, and cutters.
It is now a representation of Indian democracy and its secular, plural, and inclusive traditions, having previously served as a symbol of imperial dominance and power.
