President House i.e Rashtrapati Bhavan (a sanskrit word) is the official residence of the President of India, located in New Delhi.
The main entrance is to Rashtrapati Bhavan is known as Gate 35, and is located on Prakash Vir Shastri Avenue, renamed from North Avenue in November of 2002. According to official website:
The splendour of the Rashtrapati Bhavan is multi-dimensional. It is a vast mansion and its architecture is breathtaking. More than these, it has a hallowed existence in the annals of democracy for being the residence of the President of the largest democracy in the world. Few official residential premises of the Head of theState in the world will match the Rashtrapati Bhavan in terms of its size, vastness and its magnificence.
The present day Rashtrapati Bhavan was the erstwhile residence of the British Viceroy. Its architect was Edwin Landseer Lutyens. The decision to build a residence in New Delhi for the British Viceroy was taken after it was decided in the Delhi Durbar of 1911 that the capital of India would be shifted from Calcutta to Delhi in the same year. It was constructed to affirm the permanence of British rule in India. This building gave the impression, in the words of a critique, the setting of a perpetual Durbar. The building and its surroundings were supposed to be ‘an empire in stone’, ‘exercising imperial sway’ and containing in it, “the abode of a disinterested elite whose rule was imposed from above”.

Justice will be done on that day when all the coins in India are dedicated to
Chacha Nehru, and images of Chacha Nehru are depicted on all the coins in India.
If Mahatma Gandhi images are depicted in the Rupee Notes, Chacha Nehrus images

India is richest from culturaly,but poor from financially in the world. But all Indians will be financially
rich if only corruption can be washed out from our country. Government should take a drastic action
for any kinds of corruption in our country. Debasis Chakraborty. Date-27.08.2009.
