Jaipur Column
The Jaipur Column stands at a height of one hundred and forty five feet on the Rashtrapati Bhavan Forecourt, at an approximate distance of five hundred and fifty five feet from the main gate. Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and sponsored by Maharaja Madho Singh of Jaipur, the Jaipur Column was built to celebrate the transfer of the capital from Calcutta to Delhi and as a token of allegiance of the princely state of Jaipur to the British Crown.
