How did Lutyens Zone get its name? Where bungalows worth up to Rs 400 crore are located, the eminent personalities of the country reside!


When the British were building Delhi, they had decided in their mind that they had to build many areas which would be built only for high ranking British officers and British nobles. Indians were prohibited from entering these areas. Lutyens Delhi area is also included in this. Today, this area is a big market of Delhi. If people want to take a dig at big people or politicians, they address them as Lutyens Delhi. Have you ever thought what is this Lutyens Delhi and what is the reason for such a strange name?

In 1911, the British government shifted the capital of India from Kolkata to Delhi. It was after that that the beautification of Delhi started. British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens was given the responsibility of building an area in Delhi which is very posh and the most unique. This area is also known as Lutyens Bungalow Zone or Lutyens Zone. He led a team of architects and built the Viceroy House in the heart of the city, which we know today as Rashtrapati Bhavan.

The All India War Memorial was built here. The road from there to the Viceroy House was built, which was named King’s Way. Now the War Memorial is known as India Gate and King’s Way came to be known as Rajpath and then Kartavya Path. Places like Connaught Place, Janpath, Prime Minister’s Office, National Museum, etc. come in this area. The entire area was named Lutyens Delhi after Lutyens. It is here that the bungalows of MPs, Lok Sabha Speaker, Vice President, heads of other important government offices, ministers are present. Its construction was completed in 1931 when it was formally inaugurated.
