Amrit Udyan to open for public from August 16: Rashtrapati Bhavan

The Rashtrapati Bhavan has announced that the iconic Amrit Udyan will be open to the public for a month starting Friday. President Droupadi Murmu inaugurated the Amrit Udyan Summer Annuals Edition on Wednesday.

Spanning across an expansive 15-acre expanse, it is often referred to as the “heart of Rashtrapati Bhavan”.

According to the statement issued by the Rashtrapati Bhavan, Amrit Udyan will be accessible to the public from August 16 to September 15, between 10 am and 6 pm, except on Mondays, which are designated as maintenance days for the Udyan. The last entry will be permitted at 5:15 pm.

The statement also mentioned that August 29 will be reserved for sportspersons in honour of National Sports Day, and September 5 will be set aside for teachers on Teachers’ Day.

Registration is mandatory for entry, but the visit to the renowned gardens is free of charge. Visitors can book their slots online through the Rashtrapati Bhavan website ( https://visit.rashtrapatibhavan.gov.in/).
