Rashtrapati Bhavan, Presidential palace in New Delhi, India
The 340-room residence extends across 330 acres, incorporating Neoclassical architecture with Indian elements through its domes, columns, and stone carvings.
Originally constructed as the Viceroy's House during British rule, the structure was completed in 1929 and became the Indian President's residence after independence.
The Presidential Museum within the complex displays artifacts related to the presidency, documenting the heritage and ceremonial aspects of Indian governance.
Visitors can access the Mughal Gardens, now known as Amrit Udyan, during specific months and participate in guided tours through selected areas of the building.
The construction uses minimal iron, consisting of 700 million bricks and 3.5 million cubic feet (99,000 cubic meters) of stone in its structural composition.
