Rashtrapati Bhavan will be open for public viewing for six days every week, from next month onwards

The Rashtrapati Bhavan will be available for public viewing six days a week starting in the next month. For six days, the Rashtrapati Bhavan will be welcoming tourists for the first time. Prior to then, it would be accessible to the general public five days a week, excluding Mondays and Tuesdays.

The tour of Rashtrapati Bhavan will be offered seven times between 09.30 am and 4.30 pm from Tuesday through Sunday, excepting gazetted holidays, the President's office announced in a statement on Tuesday. According to the announcement, the Rashtrapati Bhavan Museum Complex is also accessible to guests from Tuesday through Sunday.

People can see the Change of Guard Ceremony every Saturday between 8 and 9 am on the forecourt of Rashtrapati Bhavan, according to representatives of the President's Secretariat. When a Saturday falls on a gazetted holiday or when Rashtrapati Bhavan notifies the public under unusual circumstances, the ceremony is not performed on that day.

Three loops make up the trek through the facility. The first circuit includes the Rashtrapati Bhavan's main structure and central lawn, as well as its most prestigious rooms, including the Ashok Hall, Durbar Hall, Banquet Hall, and drawing rooms. The second circuit includes a tour of the Rashtrapati Bhavan Museum Complex, and the third circuit includes a visit to the famous Rashtrapati Bhavan gardens, including the Amrit Udyan, Herbal Garden, Musical Garden, and Spiritual Garden.

The storied Mughal Gardens of Rashtrapati Bhavan were given "a common name" earlier this year: "Amrit Udyan." The 15-acre park, which is available to the public from January to March, was designed in the same manner as Mughal gardens that were constructed in Jammu and Kashmir and surrounding the Taj Mahal.

The garden was also inspired by miniature paintings of India and Persia, according to the Rashtrapati Bhavan website, which calls it "the soul of the Presidential Palace". The Rashtrapati Bhavan complex, an H-shaped structure on a 330-acre estate, was designed by Edwin Lutyens and features both Indian and western architectural traditions. The route between Rashtrapati Bhavan to India Gate, formerly known as Rajpath, was given the new name Kartavya Path last year.
