In a major move, the central government has renamed the Mughal Gardens built in 1928-29 at Rashtrapati Bhavan as Amrit Udyan. The 15-acre attraction draws its inspiration from the Mughal Gardens of Jammu and Kashmir, the gardens around Taj Mahal and from miniature paintings of India and Persia.It is generally believed that the garden was the brainchild of Sir Edwin Lutyens, the architect of New Delhi. But, in fact, the designer was William Mustoe, the director of horticulture, who worked on it at the newly built Viceroy’s House. Lutyens and Mustoe had long discussions before they agreed to showcase two different horticulture traditions together — the grand Mughal park and the English flower garden — and Mustoe was given total freedom to build the Mughal Garden.
