India Post released a stamp to celebrate 100th Anniversary of the establishment of Delhi Gymkhana Club on 3rd July 2013.
Established initially as the Imperial Delhi Gymkhana Club on July 3, 1913, the Gymkhana Club’s buildings were conceptualized by Sir Edwin Lutyens, who also planned the Rashtrapati Bhavan. Construction of the Gymkhana Club and Rashtrapati Bhavan was completed one year apart, and both structures embody the style of architecture for which Lutyens is well known. Sir Usha Nath was the first Indian President of the Club.
