The Rashtrapati Bhavan gardens or the Amrit Udyan have undergone change over time, with roses being a main attraction. However, each resident of the Bhavan has left their unique imprint on the garden. For example, C Rajagopalachari, the last Governor General of India, made a political statement by plowing the land during a time of food scarcity and dedicating a portion to food crops, now known as the Nutrition Garden or Dalikhana, which grows organic vegetables for the Bhavan’s consumption. President R Venkatraman added a cactus garden due to his fondness for them, and APJ Abdul Kalam added theme-based gardens such as the musical and spiritual gardens.

To wrap up, the Amrit Udyan or the Mughal Garden in Delhi showcases a mesmerizing blend of nature and traditional Mughal design. It provides a tranquil oasis away from the city’s fast pace, with an array of beautiful flowers, foliage, and fountains. If you’re in Delhi during spring, this garden should be on your itinerary.
