Publication Division Life at Rashtrapati Bhavan

The volume titled Life at Rashtrapati Bhavan, is an attempt to record the human history of the residents living in the President s Estate. It is the people who make up this vast space and it is they who have left their imprint on the annals of time. This documents the period under the colonial state right up to the current presidency and brings in the perspectives of past and present residents of the estate, the permanent staff of the household and secretariat as well as the officials who have served under different presidencies. This is an account of one of the greatest buildings of the world not for the architectural masterpiece that it is, but in terms of the life that permeates and lends it soul. Replete with rare photographs, this is a collector s item.
