The West Facade of the Viceroys House in New Delhi: A Symphony of Moghul and Colonial Architecture This photograph showcases the grand west facade of the Viceroys House in New Delhi, India. Built between 1912 and 1929, this historic residence served as the official residence of the British Viceroy of India until India's independence in 1947. The architectural masterpiece, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, is a harmonious blend of Moghul and colonial influences. The west facade reveals a stunning view of the twelve-acre Moghul Garden, which is beautifully framed by the red sandstone steps leading down to a serene pool. The pool, surrounded by beds of vibrant purple violas and other flowers, adds a splash of color to the otherwise monochromatic design. The intricate details of the architecture, from the ornate arches to the meticulously carved stonework, contribute to the majestic harmony of the whole design. The Moghul Gardens, inspired by the famous Moghul gardens of Agra and Lahore, are a testament to the rich cultural heritage of India. The gardens, which were designed to reflect the Moghul love for nature and water, offer a tranquil retreat from the bustling city of New Delhi. This photograph not only captures the architectural grandeur of the Viceroys House but also highlights the enduring influence of the Moghul era on Indian architecture. The Viceroys House, with its stunning west facade and beautiful gardens, stands as a symbol of India's complex and fascinating history.
