Chanakyapuri, Diplomatic district in New Delhi, India

Chanakyapuri extends over 6 square kilometers of meticulously planned streets with wide tree-lined avenues and numerous foreign embassy buildings throughout the area.

The district was established in the 1950s as the first major expansion beyond Lutyens' Delhi to accommodate diplomatic missions after India gained independence.

The neighborhood houses Nehru Park, spanning 80 acres of gardens where regular cultural events showcase Indian performing arts and international celebrations.

Multiple transportation options connect the district, including dedicated metro stations and bus routes that link to central New Delhi and surrounding areas.

The district contains over 50 international diplomatic missions, making it the largest concentration of foreign representations in a single neighborhood of India.
