A monumental column in front of the Rashtrapati Bhavan. After the transfer of the capital of India to New Delhi in 1911, the Maharaja of Jaipur offered to sponsor the construction of this column in 1912. However, the structure was completed nearly 18 years later. The column is very tall, around 44-45 m. There's an egg at the top surmounted by a bronze lotus flower and a six-pointed glass star.
The Jaipur Column is a monumental column in the middle of the courtyard in front of Rashtrapati Bhavan, the presidential residence in New Delhi, Delhi, India. In 1912 Madho Singh II, the Maharaja of Jaipur, offered to sponsor its construction to commemorate the 1911 Delhi Durbar and the transfer of the capital of India from Calcutta to New Delhi.
