Rashtrapati Bhawan itself is at the centre of a diverse heritage. It is one of the greatest architectural landmarks of the modern era, with a unique synthesis of eastern and western influences. It represents a historical setting not only in the establishment of modern South Asian nations, but has been a meeting ground for Heads of State and other dignitaries visiting India. As the office-cum-residence of the President of Indian Republic, it is a venue par excellence for State functions and ceremonies. A veritable architectural masterpiece, the Rashtrapati Bhawan, (once the symbol of British imperial power), is a site, with landscaped gardens, great bio-diversity. Music, dance and cinema play a definitive part in the making of India s national identity. And Rashtrapati Bhawan has served as an excellent meeting point for musicians, dancers and filmmakers to showcase their works. With beautiful photographs, Indra Dhanush has, in turn, been presenting these all to the worldwide audiences since 2002, when it was first conceptualized. Seller Inventory # 113760
