Mughal Garden (Rashtrapati Bhavan)
The Mughal Garden (recently renamed Amrit Udyan) within the Rashtrapati Bhavan grounds is a formal garden blending Mughal charbagh design with English landscaping, laid out under Edwin Lutyens in the 1920s-30s, featuring terraced lawns, water channels, and extensive seasonal flower displays, roses and tulips especially. Because it's inside the President's official residence, public access is limited to a specific opening period each year, typically around February-March, rather than being open year-round like most Delhi parks.
Given the restricted access window and security requirements (advance online registration and ID checks), visiting requires more planning than most Delhi sights, but the garden's scale and floral displays during the open season make it worthwhile for those specifically interested.
