Jaipur Column, Memorial column at Rashtrapati Bhavan, New Delhi, India

The sandstone Jaipur Column rises near the President's residence, featuring intricate carvings and architectural elements from the colonial period.

Edwin Lutyens and Charles Sargeant Jagger designed this monument in 1930 as part of the larger governmental complex in New Delhi.

The column integrates Indian architectural traditions with British design principles, representing the fusion of two distinct building styles.

Visitors need to obtain permits from the Rashtrapati Bhavan office to access the grounds where the column stands during designated hours.

The column contains a metallic sphere at its peak, which catches sunlight and creates a visual reference point visible from multiple areas of New Delhi.
