Prithviraj Road, Elite residential road in Central Delhi, India
Prithviraj Road is an exclusive residential street in central Delhi that runs from the Taj Mansingh Hotel junction to Sri Aurobindo Marg Road. The street features large mansions and government buildings set on sprawling plots of land.
The street was named after Prithviraj Chauhan, a 12th-century ruler from northern India. It emerged as a planned street in New Delhi and became a central residential location for political leadership and administration.
The street serves as home to senior government officials and state representatives whose residences shape its character. The houses reflect the administrative importance this location holds in India's government structure.
The street is near Khan Market and accessible via major roads including Man Singh Road and Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Road. As a residential street, early morning or late afternoon visits work best when traffic is lighter.
The Cabinet Secretary's residence at number 32 shares the street with state houses including Rajasthan House and Meghalaya House. This mix of national and state administrative representation is unusual in Delhi's urban layout.
