Rajpath at a glance

Rajpath Delhi is a grand boulevard connecting India Gate to the Indian government offices. Constructed on an imperial scale from 1914 to 1931 by Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker, it highlighted British dominance. However, just 16 years later, British rule ended, and Indian leaders began to navigate these halls of power.

At Rajpath’s western end, the Rashtrapati Bhavan, the president of India’s official residence, is partially accessible to the public through guided tours. It is flanked by the North Secretariat and South Secretariat, mirror-image buildings with domes, housing government ministries that are not open to the public. Nearby, the Indian parliament convenes at Sansad Bhavan, a circular, colonnaded structure at the end of Sansad Marg, which is also not open to the public.

At the eastern end of Rajpath stands the imposing India Gate, a 42-meter-high stone memorial arch designed by Lutyens. It honors approximately 90,000 Indian Army soldiers who perished in WWI, the Northwest Frontier operations, and the 1919 Anglo-Afghan War.
