As the British decided to move the capital from Calcutta to New Delhi, the foundation of the new imperial capital was laid on the hillock called Raisina Hill.
Two great British architects and fast friends, Sir Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker were given the task to carve the capital. Like all great cities of India, the New Delhi, which was to rival London and Paris was designed on the flanks of the grand residential palace of its first citizen... the Rashtrapati Bhavan...
Identified as an ultimate symbol of a great structure, the first sign of the building’s grandeur is its placement on a higher gradient.
Along the gradient two secretariat buildings, now termed North and South Block were built, which today houses the key ministries of the government of India.
Interestingly, the two secretariat buildings were originally drafted to be below the gradient in order to have a more grandly view of the Rashtrapati Bhavan courtyard but Baker had his way in getting them at the same level. The decision which turned close friends – Lutyens and Baker – into bitter colleagues.As the British decided to move the capital from Calcutta to New Delhi, the foundation of the new imperial capital was laid on the hillock called Raisina Hill.
