Where the decision was taken of partition of India and Pakistan between Gandhi ji, Nehru ji and Jinnah. The centre Hall looks like some kinda film set of Some big film makers.

The Rashtrapati Niwas (literally the "President's Residence"), formerly known as Viceregal Lodge, is located on the Observatory Hills of Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India. It was formerly the residence of the British Viceroy of India. It houses some of the most ancient articles and photographs going back to the times of the British rule in India.

Great place to be. It has a historic value as the British Vice Regal lodge used to come to this place before independence and operate from this place. Amazing architecture.
