A broad flight of steps leads one to the main entrance. The enormous projecting cornice is a significant Mughal device, which perfectly blends with the classical approach of the monument. The light oriental touches are an incredible feature of the Rashtrapati Bhavan. The huge neo-Buddhist copper dome is an outstanding feature of the House. The circular Durbar Hall located beneath the dome measures 22.8 m in diameter. The colored marbles used to adore the hall are brought from different parts of the country and provide a special look to the entire interior decoration.
| The hall of the Rashtrapati Bhavan hosts all the official ceremonies and it is the venue where the President confers the Arjuna Awards for Excellence annually. The great interior decoration offers a glimpse of the British sense of interior decoration. There are 54 bedrooms located in the Rashtrapati Bhavan along with other accommodations. The palace overlooks an impressive Mughal garden located at the western side. The ornamental fountains, walls, gazebos, trees, flowers and shrubs enhance the beauty of the garden. Every spring the garden is laid open for the visitors but the security check is quite tight.
