Nabha House

Mohit Sai Kumar 14 months ago

I visited the Nabha House, a historical monument built by the royal family of Nabha State for their religious pilgrimages to Kurukshetra.

The building is made of lakhauri bricks and has a distinctive arched entrance with stucco sculptures of Ganesha and dwarapalas. The roof has a small temple dedicated to Lord Brahma. The house has a rectangular courtyard and a domical shrine on the front. The entrance door has iron nails and spikes, which are typical of medieval Indian architecture.

I had a great experience at the Nabha House. It reminded me of my childhood house in our village, which had similar wooden beams on the ceiling. The house was well-maintained and had a charming color that evoked the old days. It is located near Surya Kund, a sacred pond.

I would recommend visiting the Nabha House if you are interested in the history and culture of Kurukshetra. It is a rare example of a royal residence that has survived the test of time and still retains its original features and beauty.

Nabha House is a palatial building which was used by the royal family of Nabha as residence. It was adopted by Archaeological Survey of India in 2005 and they worked 9 years to bring it back to its original form.

Most of the ancient monuments of Haryana were destroyed by the Mughals during their invasion and rebuilt several monuments in Islamic architectural styles. Hence, the amalgamations of monuments of ancient period, medieval period and British Empire that are still present there speak volumes about the architectural splendour and imagination of their creators and still continue to fascinate the people from all over the world.

Good but entry is restricted. Protected site under Archeological Survey of India. This building is national importance of India. This palatial building was constructed by the royal family of Nabha principality. This monument was used by the royal family members for stay during the days of religious performances at Kurukshetra. The building stands on a raised platform. The entrance gate is on the eastern side and its either sides are decorated with four arched niches (Miharab). There are two beautiful pillared windows (Jharokha) on the second floor of the building. The base and the top of these pillars have been decorated with lotus design. A temple dedicated to God Brahma is constructed on the top of the monument. It is fifteen-feet tall and built on Navaratha (nine corners) plan. The wooden door on entrance is studded with decorative iron nails, which represent the Hindu style of architecture in early British era. The main entrance through another gate leads to a rectangular courtyard. The stairs on the southern side of the courtyard lead to the temple on the second storey.
