Rajpath is now officially called Kartavya Path. In the early 20th Century the British named the road which runs from Rashtrapati Bhavan on Raisina Hills through India Gate to National Stadium as Rajpath. Rajpath means “kings way” in English. Rajpath sounds as ruling over others. A request was made for renaming of Rajpath. After the redesigning of Central Vista Avenue for nineteen months the road from Netaji Statue to the Rashtrapati Bhavan is currently called “Kartavya Path”. Kartavya means duties towards Nation, family, without discrimination.

A Majestic Avenue of Transformation
Kartavya Path, once Rajpath, stands as a testament to India’s transformation and enduring legacy. This iconic avenue, lined with verdant gardens and stately trees, offers a picturesque journey from the grandeur of Rashtrapati Bhavan to the solemnity of India Gate. By day, it hums with the energy of visitors, joggers, and history enthusiasts, all drawn to its majestic vistas and historical significance. As dusk falls, the path is bathed in a warm, amber light, creating a serene and almost ethereal atmosphere. The changing of the guard at Rashtrapati Bhavan and the sight of India Gate illuminated against the night sky evoke a deep sense of patriotism and pride. Kartavya Path is not just a road; it is a living narrative of India’s democratic spirit and its vibrant, ever-evolving identity, inviting all who walk it to reflect on the nation’s past, celebrate its present, and aspire for its future.
Architectural and Aesthetic Marvels
Kartavya Path is flanked by significant government buildings, such as the North and South Blocks, which house the offices of the highest echelons of India’s government. The Rashtrapati Bhavan, the official residence of the President of India, stands at one end of the path, showcasing impressive colonial architecture with a blend of Indian influences. At the other end stands India Gate, a war memorial dedicated to the soldiers who died in World War I and the Third Anglo-Afghan War. The surrounding gardens, fountains, and water bodies enhance the aesthetic appeal of the avenue, making it a favorite spot for tourists and locals alike.
