New Delhi: President Droupadi Murmu on Sunday inaugurated Udyan Utsav-2023 -- the opening of the Rashtrapati Bhavan Gardens, including the rechristened 'Amrit Udyan', for the public.
The iconic Mughal Gardens at the Rashtrapati Bhavan was renamed Amrit Udyan on Saturday. The resplendent gardens are open to the public once a year and people can visit from Tuesday this time.
Amrit Udyan will remain open for visitors from January 31 to March 26 between 10 am and 4 pm, according to a statement issued by the Rashtrapati Bhavan on Sunday.
From March 28 to 31, the gardens will be open for special categories. For farmers on March 28, for differently-abled persons on March 29, for Defence, paramilitary forces and police personnel on March 30 and for women, including tribal women's self-help groups, on March 31. Originally, the garden at Rashtrapati Bhavan included East Lawn, Central Lawn, Long Garden and Circular Garden. During the term of former Presidents Dr A P J Abdul Kalam and Ram Nath Kovind, more gardens were developed, namely, Herbal-I, Herbal-II, Tactile Garden, Bonsai Garden and Arogya Vanam.
In this year's Udyan Utsav, among several other attractions, visitors will be able to see specially cultivated tulips of 12 unique varieties which are expected to bloom in phases.
