A lot has been written about Rashtrapati Bhawan (RB) of India . You will find most of the stuff on internet. But let me share some personal experiences during my visit to India's Rashtrapati Bhawan or President's palace.<br />
<br />
First things first, <i>RB visit is allowed only on 3 days in a week - Friday through Sunday</i>. In order to get inside RB , one needs to make online reservation. And, <b>my suggestion would be to make it at-least 2 weeks before your proposed date of visit.</b> Keep your Passport/Aadhar/PAN Card handy while registering online on RB website. While doing online registration, a visitor has to needs to pay online (around .50 cents or INR 30 / person). Once registration is done, wait for RS to send a confirmation by email, which they send usually within 24 hours.<br />
<br />
On the date of visit, I suggest you take printout of RB confirmation. Security Guards at RB gates would ask for the confirmation document and match your name with their records.<br />
RB doesn't allow visitors to bring-in any Mobile phone or Cameras. But if you have a high end smart phone, I am sure you would not miss to snap yourself in front of RB.<br />
On entering the RB main building, at reception on the waiting hall, visitors are asked to show Id proof and printout of confirmation, details are matched with computer records and a nice Airport Immigration counter style picture is taken with computer camera.<br />
Visitors are asked to wait in the waiting hall for 15-20 mins and then taken inside the RB hall led by guard. Important to note, <b><i>if you have a mobile phone , there is a small cloak room kind of facility Where visitors are suggested to deposit their mobile phones, Car keys etc. The cloak room service is free of charge.</i></b><br />
<br />
The entire guided tour takes around 30-40 mins and that's it! You are done.<br />
