There is nothing much to see other than to visualise the grandeur of past and it becomes lively during the national holidays. The surrounding scenery looks nice in the heart of the bustling city.

The Chowk is an intersection of roads outside of Rastrapati bhawan. the republic day parade ends here. You can take a walk here and see the gardens.

one passes Vijay chowk very frequently and there is nothing much to comment. It would be great to walk down Rajpath during a winter morning

The square in front of Rashtrapati Bhavan and Rajpath starts from Vijay Chowk, a place you will come across on any drive of New Delhi where you make your way down Minto Road from the government buildings towards India Gate which is one mile away. Its is also the place where the closing ceremony for Independence Day takes place.

I doubt if any country in the world has such a big PALACE for the Head of the State. Vijay Chowk on the CENTRAL VISTA, is best place for cycling on the weekend .

Vijay chowk is on the way to my office. When ever you pass this place you have to "pause" for a few seconds ... and .......feel refreshed and rejuvenated. This is where you have beating retreat every year in Jan..

Once you are at the Chowk, you realize how magnificent the surroundings are. The royal President's House, flanked by the North and the South Blocks, and the Parliament House by the side, just are unparalleled.. The traffic policeman at the Chowk is worth watching.
