Teen Murti Bhavan


Facing the south side of the Rashtrapati Bhavan, Teen Murti Bhavan was the residence of first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru. The architecture marks the major events of the post independent India. Nehru resided in this bhavan for the 16 years till his death. The statue outside the bhavan gave its name as Teen Murti Bhavan.
The building is double floored. The grassy lawn in the front and at the back side of the bhavan catches the pleasant milieu for the visitors. This national memorial is converted into the museum comprising the glimpses of the life of Nehru and also the library. The Nehru Museum and Library is maintained under the Ministry of Culture.
There is visiting room at the entrance of the museum. There is also the office room of Nehru which was the office when he holds the office of the External Affairs. Now the room has been recreated with the same furniture and other articles he used along with several mementos, objects and manuscripts. The Nehru Memorial Library has the quality books depicting the life of Nehru and the Indian National Movement. Souvenirs displayed in the bhavan offers to buy the quality articles which Nehru used during his lifetime.
