European form, Dogra detail
The twin-storey palace-style building combines European architectural influences with traditional Dogra design. Colonnaded verandahs, symmetrical stone masonry, high ceilings, formal halls and richly crafted interiors continue the historic palace language.
The historic Durbar Hall
A notable architectural feature is the Durbar Hall, associated with an early earthquake-resistant system in the subcontinent. Its palace-style proportions, high ceilings and elegant carpeting preserve the building’s ceremonial character.
