New Delhi, Aug 14 (UNI) President Droupadi Murmu today inaugurated the Summer Annuals Edition of Amrit Udyan in the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
This vibrant edition of Amrit Udyan will be open to the public from August 16 to September 14.
Visitors can explore the blooming gardens daily between 10 AM and 6 PM, with the last entry permitted at 5:15 PM. The Udyan will remain closed on all Mondays for maintenance, an official statement said.
