The
president of the Indian National Congress is the highest command of the Indian
National Congress (INC), one of the principal political parties in India. Constitutionally, the
president is elected by an electoral college composed of members drawn from the Pradesh
Congress Committees and members of the All India Congress Committee. After the party's
foundation in December 1885, Womesh Chunder Bonnerjee became its first president. From
1885 to 1933, the presidency had a term of one year only. From 1933 onwards, there was no
such fixed term for the president. A total of 61 people have served as the president of the INC
since its formation. Sonia Gandhi
(pictured) is the longest-serving president of the party,
having held the office for more than twenty years, from 1998 to 2017 and since 2019.

Drottningholm Palace is the private residence of the
Swedish royal family, located on an island on the outskirts
of Stockholm. The gardens and parks surrounding the
castle are one of the main attractions for the tourists who
visit the palace each year. This photograph shows a view of
the Baroque garden through a window of the palace. Along
with the rest of the palace grounds, the garden was
neglected during the 19th century, but was restored in the
1950s and 1960s on the initiative of King Gustaf VI Adolf.
