Delhi Town Hall, Colonial building in Old Delhi, India

The Town Hall features yellow-painted brick walls with carved white stone trim and stands prominently in the Chandni Chowk neighborhood.

Constructed in 1863, the building began as Lawrence Institute housing Delhi College before becoming the Municipal Corporation headquarters in 1866.

A statue of Swami Shraddhanand replaced the original bronze statue of Queen Victoria after India gained independence in 1947.

The building maintained its role as municipal offices until 2009, when operations moved to the new Municipal Corporation of Delhi Civic Centre.

The location bears the name Ghantaghar, referencing the clock tower that previously marked this administrative center of Old Delhi.
