In India, a governor is the constitutional head of a state in India that has similar powers and functions at the state level as those of the President of India at the central level. A governor acts as the constitutional head and takes all their decisions based on the advice of chief minister and their council of ministers.
In India, a lieutenant governor (LG) or administrator is the constitutional head of one of the eight union territories. A lieutenant governor heads the five union territories of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir, Delhi and Puducherry, and an administrator heads the three union territories of Chandigarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu and Lakshadweep.
