Rashtrapati Bhavan, the presidential palace in New Delhi, is a monumental symbol of India's democracy. Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, the building features 340 rooms spread over four floors, blending Mughal and Western architectural styles. The highlight for visitors is the sprawling Mughal Gardens, which open to the public in February–March during the Udyanotsav festival. Inside, the grand Durbar Hall and the state dining room showcase exquisite craftsmanship. A guided tour reveals the history and daily functioning of the president's office.
