Flower pots were lined up at the main entrance while several baskets of flowers, including choicest roses, were taken inside the bungalow premises, to welcome Kovind, who defeated opposition candidate Meira Kumar by bagging 65 per cent of the votes.
The Delhi Police also heightened security at the bungalow, the official residence of Union minister Mahesh Sharma.
"We have been working here since morning, sweeping the pavements, trimming hedges, putting flower pots at both the entry and exit gates," said a staff of the New Delhi Municipal Council.
