Delhi
Delhi, India, designated a World Heritage site.
Central Vista Park serves as the main east-west axis of New Delhi, the national capital of India. It is characterized by its parklike setting, featuring extensive green spaces and wide vistas that contrast with the dense layout of Old Delhi.21
The park is flanked by a variety of significant institutions and structures, including:
- Government Buildings: The area is anchored by the Rashtrapati Bhavan (Presidentās House) and the Central Secretariat buildings.1
- Parliament: The site includes the new parliament building, which was completed in 2023 as part of the broader Central Vista Project.1
- Memorials: The India Gate (All India War Memorial arch) is a prominent feature along this axis.1
- Public Facilities: The area is surrounded by various museums and research centres.2
The central avenue, known as the Kartavya Path (formerly Rajpath), serves as the primary thoroughfare through this administrative heart of the city.1
