A Beautiful and Vibrant Attraction Awaits Visitors at Amrit Udyaan

The Udyan Utsav 2023 was inaugurated on Sunday by President Droupadi Murmu thus opening the Rashtrapati Bhavan gardens, including the recently renamed Amrit Udyan, to the public starting Tuesday. According to a statement from the Rashtapati Bhavan, Amrit Udyan will be open to visitors from January 31 through March 26, 2023, between 10 am and 4 pm. From March 28 to March 31, select groups of individuals will have access to the gardens. According to the statement, the following groups are allowed access to the gardens on the following dates: farmers on March 28, people with disabilities on March 29, members of the armed forces, paramilitary units, and law enforcement on March 30, and women, including tribal women's self-help groups, on March 31. One of the main attractions for tourists visiting Rashtrapati Bhavan is the Mughal Gardens, which are now a part of the Amrit Udyan. These gardens, which cover 15 acres, were inspired by the Mughal Gardens in Srinagar. A statement from Rashtrapati Bhavan claims that "A variety of gardens are located in Rashtrapati Bhavan. These formerly featured the Circular Garden, Long Garden, East Lawn, and Central Lawn. Additional gardens, including the Herbal-I, Herbal-II, Tactile Garden, Bonsai Garden, and Arogya Vanam, were created under the administrations of former Presidents Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam and Ram Nath Kovind.  The President of India has chosen to give all of the Rashtrapati Bhavan gardens a common name of "Amrit Udyan" in honor of the nation's 75th anniversary of independence as “Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav.” The government has previously changed the names of three other national capital landmarks: Race Course Road was renamed Lok Kalyan Marg, Raj Path was renamed Kartavya Path, and Aurangzeb Road at the India Gate hexagon was given the name of the late president and Bharat Ratna APJ Abdul Kalam.
