The rich history of Amrit Udyan
Amrit Udyan has a fascinating history deeply rooted in the Mughal and British eras. The concept of Persian-inspired gardens was widely adopted by Mughal emperors, with their symmetrical patterns, vibrant floral displays, and tranquil water channels. The fusion of Mughal aesthetics and British landscaping techniques has resulted in the creation of this magnificent 15-acre garden within the Rashtrapati Bhavan premises.
Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in the early 20th century, the garden was envisioned as a green retreat for the then Viceroy of India, Charles Hardinge, with the active involvement of Lady Hardinge. Completed in 1929, Amrit Udyan continues to reflect a perfect blend of heritage, horticulture, and harmony in the heart of the capital.
