According to the official website of the Rashtrapati Bhavan, spread over a vast expanse of 15 acres, Amrit Udyan has often been portrayed, and deservedly so, as the soul of the Rashtrapati Bhavan. Originally, it included East Lawn, Central Lawn, Long Garden, and Circular Garden. During the terms of former Presidents Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam and Shri Ram Nath Kovind, more gardens were developed, namely, Herbal-I, Herbal-II, Tactile Garden, Bonsai Garden, and Arogya Vanam.

This edition of Amrit Udyan will be a landscaping marvel where visitors can witness Coleus, Celosia, Tuberose, and many other rare seasonal flowers in full glory. The key attraction will be the beautiful new setups in Amrit Udyan and many other surprises in store for the visitors.

Further, visitors can spend time in multiple attractions, a specially curated garden for children called Bal Vatika with a story of a 225-year-old Sheesham tree, a treehouse, Nature's classroom, etc. Then there are the Bonsai, Circular Gardens with a diverse variety of flora and fauna. There is also a vibrant food court where visitors can have refreshments and witness ongoing exhibitions.
