Rashtrapati Bhavan is the official residence of the President of India, located in New Delhi. Built during the British Raj, it served as the residence of the British Viceroy until India gained independence in 1947. Today, it is the official residence of the President of India and serves as a symbol of India's rich cultural heritage.
The Rashtrapati Bhavan building was designed by British architect Edwin Lutyens and constructed between 1912 and 1929. It was originally built in 1931 on a 330-acre estate to serve as the official residence of the Viceroy of India during the British Raj. After India gained independence in 1947, the building was converted into the official residence of the President of India. The first President to live in Rashtrapati Bhavan was Dr. Rajendra Prasad. Since then, every Indian President has resided in the palace.
The building's architecture is a blend of Indian and Western styles, with elements of Mughal, Rajasthani, and British architecture. It is spread over 130 hectares and has 340 rooms, including the Presidential residence, guest rooms, and offices.
The Rashtrapati Bhavan Museum is divided into four sections: the Stables Museum, the Garages Museum, the Clock Tower Museum, and the Ceremonial Hall Museum. Each section houses a unique collection of artifacts and exhibits, including vintage cars, antique furniture, paintings, sculptures, and manuscripts. The museum also features an art gallery, which houses a collection of paintings and sculptures by renowned Indian artists.
