The President of India, Smt. Droupadi Murmu, today (August 14, 2025) inaugurated the Summer Annuals Edition of Amrit Udyan at Rashtrapati Bhavan, marking the start of a month-long opportunity for the public to experience one of India’s most iconic and meticulously maintained gardens. This seasonal edition showcases a fresh bloom of summer flowers, adding vibrant colours and fragrances to the historic Mughal Gardens—renamed Amrit Udyan as part of the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ celebrations.

Amrit Udyan will welcome visitors from August 16 to September 14, 2025, operating daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with the last entry at 5:15 PM. The garden will remain closed on Mondays for upkeep and maintenance. This schedule allows visitors nearly a month to explore the seasonal floral arrangements that have been specially curated by the Rashtrapati Bhavan’s horticulture team.
