Centre renames Mughal Gardens in Rashtrapati Bhawan as 'Amrit Udyan'
New Delhi: The Centre has renamed the Mughal Gardens in the Rashtrapati Bhawan as ‘Amrit Udyan’ in line with the theme of 'Amrit Mahotsav' marking 75 years of India's Independence.
Navika Gupta, the deputy press secretary to President Droupadi Murmu, said, "On the occasion of the celebrations of 75 years of Independence as 'Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav', the President of India has given a common name to the Rashtrapati Bhavan gardens as Amrit Udyan."
The Amrit Udayan will be inaugurated by President Droupadi Murmu on Sunday, January 29, and will be open to the public for two months from January 31 to March 26.
The garden is open for public viewing for a month—from February to March—when the garden is in full bloom.
Navika Gupta said the government has also planned to keep the garden open for viewing by special groups, such as farmers and differently-abled.
The garden was designed by Sir Edward Lutyen, who also made the Lutyen Zone in Delhi.
On Saturday, all boards bearing the name 'Mughal Garden' were removed and signboards bearing the name 'Amrit Udyan' were installed.
