The Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi is now the official residence of the President of India. It was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and built on Raisina hill, which he saw as an Indian Acropolis with the Viceroy's house as the Parthenon. Bigger than any palace of Indian Princes and one of the biggest palaces of the world, Rashtrapati Bhavan has a large court to its front and a Mughal style garden at its back.
