Secretariat Building, Government building in New Delhi, India
The Secretariat Building consists of two symmetrical blocks made of cream and red Dholpur sandstone, featuring domes, colonnaded balconies, and intricate stone screens.
Herbert Baker designed this administrative structure in 1927 during British rule, establishing it as part of the new capital complex at Raisina Hill.
The building exemplifies Indo-Saracenic architectural style, incorporating elements from Mughal and Rajasthani traditions into British colonial design principles.
The Central Secretariat metro station provides direct access to this complex, which houses key ministries including Defense, Finance, and External Affairs.
Four dominion columns stand in front of the building, representing contributions from Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa during British colonial period.
