Raj Bhavan, Official governor residence in Shimla, India.
The Raj Bhavan occupies a commanding position on the hills of Shimla, featuring European architectural elements and expansive gardens surrounding the structure.
The building, constructed during British colonial rule, transformed from a viceregal estate into the Governor's residence after India gained independence in 1947.
The Raj Bhavan maintains its position as a center for state ceremonies, government meetings, and diplomatic receptions throughout the year.
Access to Raj Bhavan requires advance permission through official channels, with visits limited to specific state functions and ceremonial events.
The structure incorporates distinct architectural features that combine British colonial design with local construction techniques adapted to mountain terrain.
