Rashtrapati Bhavan is among the significant structures in the country, as it is the residence of India’s President, Droupadi Murmu. The entire structure is spread across 200,000 square feet on a 300-acre estate. Rashtrapati Bhavan has 340 rooms across four floors, and Sir Edwin Lutyens designed it. After Italy’s Quirinal Palace, India’s Rashtrapati Bhavan is the second-largest residence of any head of state in the entire world, which speaks volumes about its stature.

Apart from luxurious rooms and halls, Rashtrapati Bhavan also comprises the Gantantra Mandap, Ashoka Mandap, a copper-faced dome, Amrit Udyan, and a museum. For the uninitiated, the first Indian who lived in Rashtrapati Bhavan was C. Rajagopalachari, after he was sworn in as the Governor-General in 1948. Over the years, we have seen many high-profile international political personalities coming to India and staying at Rashtrapati Bhavan.
