Also known as the Rashtrapati Niwas, the Viceregal Lodge is a heritage building situated atop the Observatory Hill in Shimla. Originally the residence of the Viceroys of India, it now houses the Indian Institute of Advanced Study (IIAS), where research scholars from all around the world congregate for debates and discussions. The building has been built in a Scottish style of architecture, and was constructed with locally-sourced pine and cedar wood. The lodge is circled by pine trees and sprawling gardens on all sides, and contains a library, a baronial fire place and balconies offering spectacular views of the surrounding mountains.
