Teen murti bhavan from outside As you have read my previous blog  I talked about the history of teen murti bhavan now I would like to talk about  how teen murti  bhavan visually looks like . Its an amazing place full of peace and knowledge . It has greenery and has a lot of animals like monkeys, peacocks etc. Teen murti bhavan has a museum which tells about how this great man full of knowledge Mr Jawaharlal Nehru made India an independent country along with all his struggles i.e. quit India movement , Satyagraha, etc.  Jawaharlal nehrus room It also has the rooms which were there at the time when he was living .

As you have read my previous blog in which I was writing about how i got TEEN MURTI BHAVAN as my research topic in college i would like to go forward with my research . It was an amazing experience I got to know more about teen murti bhavan and the struggles of Nehru how he made India an independent country. In the teen murti marg their are  3 stone and bronze statues . These stone and bronze sculptures were created by Leonard Jennings to commemorate those killed from the cavalry and armored regiments of the Indian Army during World War I.   Teen Murti House, located to the south of Rashtrapati Bhawan in New Delhi, derives its name from a group of three statues of soldiers, representing the lancers of Mysore, Jodhpur and Hyderabad states, installed here in 1922 as a memorial to the sacrifice of the soldiers of Indian states during the First World War in Sinai, Palestine and Syria. Designed by Robert Tor Russel as a part of Edwin Lutyen’s imperial capital, the Teen Murti House

Hey guys Delhi tour brings back fond memories. Relatives, cousins, summer vacations, coke, mango, fun and long days that overlapped the nights too. This was when I was growing up and every time, relatives planned a visit to Delhi, we parallelly planned a visit with them to various markets and tourist spots. Well, that was then. Now, when I am a design student trying to absorb and observe the world around me, markets and tourist spots (as we called them) suddenly become research topics. So when I got teen murti bhavan as my research area i was very excited to go there. I had already been there before but in a different context. It was one morning when my father woke up and asked me to visit teen murti bhavan .When i got it again just my dad was replaced by the faculty of the college at that point of time i had a huge grin on my face.  This was my second visit to teen murti bhavan with a different perspective. Now i would like to tell something about the teen murti bhavan
