As part of the “Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav” festivities, the gardens at the President’s official residence, Rashtrapati Bhavan, have been given a common name. Bulldozers were used to remove the “Mughal Gardens” road sign and haul it away.
“On the occasion of the celebrations of 75 years of Independence as Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, the President of India has given a common name to the Rashtrapati Bhavan gardens as Amrit Udyan,” Deputy Press Secretary to the President Navika Gupta said.

The Rashtrapati Bhavan contains three gardens that were influenced by Mughal and Persian gardens. The garden in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, which served as inspiration for this one was dubbed “Mughal Gardens” by the general public and the authorities. The gardens were never formally known as “Mughal Gardens,” though.
