screen
Four central water courses define
Char Bagh's quadrilateral layout.
 The main chamber also carries the symbolic element, a mihrab design over the central
marble lattice or jaali, facing Mecca in the West, here instead of the traditional Surah 24,
An-Noor of Quran which is inscribed on the mihrabs, this one is just an outline allowing
light to enter directly into the chamber, from Qibla or the direction of Mecca, thus
elevating the status of the Emperor, above his rivals and closer to divinity.
 Mirak Mirza Ghiyath, a Persian, was the architect employed by Haji Begam for this tomb.
The tomb was constructed at a cost of 15 lakh
rupees (1.5 million)

5. DETAIL OF CHAR BAGH
 The quadrilateral Charbagh concept is based on the four

19. THE PRESIDENT HOUSEMaking of
• The rocky hills of the chosen location were blasted and land
leveled to accommodate the Viceroy’s residence as well as office
buildings.
• Since the city plan had been made away from the river, and no
stream flowed in the south, subsoil water had to be pumped to
the surface for all water requirements.
• The 145 feet tall Jaipur Column which stands on the Rashtrapati
Bhavan Forecourt was gifted by Maharaja of Jaipur, Siwai
Madho Singh to commemorate the creation of Delhi as the new
capital.
• The H shaped building shows the elaborate geographical
permutations in an elegant style.

20. • The main building was built by Haroun-al-Rashid, while the
Forecourt was done by Sujan Singh and his son Sobha Singh.
• Lutyens was extremely particular about the architecture and
design of his building and preferred European classical style.
• It is estimated that seven hundred million bricks and three
million cubic feet of stone had gone into building this palatial
structure with around twenty three thousand labourers working.
• The estimated cost of building the Viceroy’s House was Rs. 14
million.
• the Dome was inspired by the Sanchi Stupa; elements like
chhajjas, chhatris and jaalis, and motifs like elephants, cobra,
temple bells etc. all have an Indian connect. His collaborator for
the project was Herbert Baker, who constructed the North
Block and the South Block

21. PLAN OF THE PRESEDENT HOUSE
SECTION OF THE PRESEDENT HOUSE
 The layout plan of the building is designed around a massive
square with multiple courtyards and open inner areas within.
The plan called for two wings; one for the Viceroy and
residents and another for guests.
 Consisting of four floors and 340 rooms, with a floor area of
200,000 square feet (19,000 m2), it was built using 700
million bricks and 3,000,000 cu ft (85,000 m3) of stone with
little steel
 it was decided that sensitivity must be shown to the local
surroundings in order to better integrate the building within
its political context, and after much political debate Lutyens
conceded to incorporating local indo-Saracenic motifs, albeit
in a rather superficial decorational form on the skin of the
building.
