Raj Bhavan, Official residence in Chennai, India
The Raj Bhavan complex extends across 156 acres within the Guindy Park Reserved Forest Area, featuring grand halls and European architectural elements.
Initially constructed in the 1640s at Fort St George, the gubernatorial residence relocated multiple times before settling at its current location in 1820.
The estate maintains collections of portraits, documents, and artifacts that illustrate the governmental and administrative heritage of Tamil Nadu.
Entry to Raj Bhavan requires advance permissions through official channels due to its status as a high-security government facility.
The grounds house a population of blackbuck antelopes, introduced in 1924, alongside various indigenous wildlife species within its forest setting.
