Patiala House
Patiala House is the former residence of the Maharaja of Patiala in Delhi, designed by Edwin Lutyens.[1] It is situated near India Gate in central Delhi, India.
History
[edit]
It was designed by Edwin Lutyens.[2] The building has a central dome with a "butterfly" layout, similar to other Lutyens’ buildings.[3][4] The Patiala House building is white.[5]
In 1958, the Indian government purchases a part of Patiala House.[5] When Prime Minister Indira Gandhi abolished the privy purses of the royals in the 1970s, the Indian government takes over the property.[5] The property has been used by the District Courts of Delhi and is known as the Patiala House Courts Complex.[5][6]
