Rashtrapati Nilayam, located in the center of Hyderabad, India, is the President's official retreat residence. Originally built as the official palace of the Nizam of Hyderabad, it later served as a guest house for the President during their southern visits. The Nilayam, which spans 90 acres, is known for its rich history and architectural magnificence.

Rashtrapati Nilayam, which was built in the twentieth century, combines Persian, Rajasthani, and Deccan architectural traditions. The complex consists of the main building, Mughal gardens, and several guesthouses. It has witnessed key historical events and welcomed dignitaries from all around the world.

The retreat provides the President with a quiet break from the frenzy of politics. The vast premises are decorated with the rich foliage and attractive scenery create a quiet atmosphere for official gatherings and solitary reflection.

Rashtrapati Nilayam is a symbol of the country's heritage and the harmonious integration of various architectural styles. It remains an important landmark in Hyderabad, providing as a venue for diplomatic gatherings and maintaining the region's cultural heritage.



( PS: I went there with my mom on 12th January 2024, and enjoyed thoroughly. Earlier it was free but opened only from January 1-15, after the president had visited it. Now it is open for all in other days, with a fee of Rupees 50/- per person, Monday and public holidays remain closed. It was a welcome change for us to see that it is now well maintained. The staff too were friendly. They also provided electronic vehicle tour for senior citizens. We had a hearty time. There was also an organic restaurant in the opposite premises where we had our lunch. It was a memorable experience as this may be the last time we are visiting here, because we are about to transfer to another place. At last a feedbackwas also asked from me online which I duly filled it.)
