Amrit Udyan reopens for the general public from Today (august 16). People can visit the iconic place for one month till September 17 except on Mondays. Amrit Udyan located within the Rashtrapati Bhavan, is one of the most famous parks and gardens in Delhi.
People can visit the gardens from 10 am to 5 pm (last entry at 4 pm). Entrance is from gate no. 35 of Rashtrapati Bhavan, near North Avenue. Entry to Amrit Udyan is free of cost. Bookings can be made online on the Rashtrapati Bhavan website.
This is the first time that the iconic gardens at Rashtrapati Bhavan will open for the second time in a year. The Udyan Utsav-II aims to showcase the blossom of summer annuals to visitors. This year, Amrit Udyan was opened from January 29 to March 31.
In January this year it was renamed from Mughal Garden to Amrit Udyan keeping in line with the government’s theme of ‘Amrit Mahotsav’ marking India’s 75 years of independence.
The Mughal garden was designed by Sir Edwin Lutynes who designed Delhi for British Raj. It occupies an area of 13 acres and sports a blend of the formal Mughal style with the design of a British Garden.
