The Palace of Rashtrapati Bhavan is the official residence of the President of India, located in New Delhi, Delhi. Until 1950 it was known as Viceroys House and served as the residence of the Governor-General of India.
During the Delhi Durbar year of 1911 it was decided that the capital of India would be shifted from Calcutta to Delhi. This was announced on December 12 by King George. As the plan for New Delhi took shape, the Governor-Generals residence was given an enormous scale and prominent position. The British architect Edwin Landseer Lutyens, a key member of the city-planning process, was also given the prime architectural opportunity of designing the building. |
