Rajpath

It is said that Edwin Lutyens commissioned the construction of India Gate and its surrounding area on Rajpath. Raj Path means the Royal Road. It is the traditional avenue of the Indian republic through which the Republic day parade passes every year. It boasts of decorative parks, pools and gardens along the side. Rajpath extends from the India Gate to Vijay Chowk, and has the Rashtrapati Bhavan and National Stadium at two opposite ends.

Along Rajpath, the two secretarial buildings - North Block and South Block can be seen as the main administrative wings of India. The Sansad Marg and the Parliament House can be seen along the stretch of this broad road. Many official buildings and museums surround the Rajpath. The Indira Gandhi National Center for Arts and the National Museum, which are famous for its archaeological artifacts are located near Rajpath.
