Rajaji Hall, Colonial government hall in Chennai, India
The Greek temple-style building spans 120 feet in length, 65 feet in width, and rises 40 feet high with a gallery displaying historical portraits.
British East India Company astronomer John Goldingham constructed this hall between 1800 and 1802 to mark the victory over Tipu Sultan.
The building received its current name in honor of C. Rajagopalachari, marking a transition from British colonial rule to independent Indian governance.
The structure houses the Tamil Nadu State Raffle offices and functions as a venue for official ceremonies and public gatherings.
The hall connects to the Government House through a series of steps at its southern entrance, forming an integrated administrative complex.
