The Secretariat Building in New Delhi, comprising the North and South Blocks, houses key ministries of the Indian government, including the Prime Minister’s Office and the Ministry of Finance. Designed by Sir Herbert Baker and completed in 1931, the twin structures exemplify Lutyens-era colonial architecture with red and cream sandstone facades, domes, and colonnades. Standing atop Raisina Hill facing Rashtrapati Bhavan, the buildings symbolize India’s administrative power and the enduring legacy of New Delhi’s early 20th-century design.
