We stopped for a moment at the junction on Kartavya Path (formerly Raj Path or King's Way), which stretches for 3 kms from the Rashtrapati Bhavan on one side and the India Gate on another. There were school kids, tourists and casual onlookers at the site. I got off the car and clicked a couple of pics.

Can see faintly the Jaipur column in front of the Rashtrapati Bhavan - a column sponsored by the Maharaja of Jaipur to commemorate the 1911 Delhi Durbar and the transfer of capital from Calcutta to Delhi. The column was designed by Edward Lutyens, the architect who was instrumental in the construction of New Delhi - so much that a part of Delhi was named after him as Lutyen's Delhi.

Some other day I would have loved to walk up and down this Kartavya Path. But today I have promises to keep.
