Join us on an exciting journey as we take you through one of India's most significant historical landmarks - the Indian Institute of Advanced Study (IIAS), formerly known as the Vice Regal Lodge in Shimla. This grandiose structure, standing tall since 1888, once served as the summer residence of British viceroys and was the epicenter of power and decision-making during India's colonial period. It's here, in these majestic halls, that some of the most crucial discussions and meetings took place, shaping the future of the Indian subcontinent.
The Vice Regal Lodge is more than just an architectural marvel; it's a living monument that witnessed the unraveling of history. From the Shimla Conference of 1945, where the possibility of India's independence was discussed, to the Partition of India in 1947, the decisions that changed the destiny of millions were made within these very walls. As we walk through the lush gardens and explore the intricate wooden interiors of the lodge, we'll transport you back to the colonial era when British viceroys ruled the vast empire from this seat of power.
During our visit, we'll take you through the grand entrance and along the corridors that have seen more than 130 years of history. The breathtaking views of the surrounding deodar forests and the unique Victorian-style architecture make the Vice Regal Lodge an unforgettable experience. Inside, we'll show you the magnificent rooms and staircases that still hold the aura of the British empire's grandeur, and we'll explore how this place has now transformed into a research institution, hosting scholars from around the world.
But our adventure doesn't stop there! After soaking in the history and grandeur of the Vice Regal Lodge, Saru and I headed to Shimla's famous Mall Road, a must-visit for anyone in town. The Mall Road, particularly during the monsoon, has a magical charm. With the streets wet from a fresh drizzle, the cozy atmosphere made it the perfect spot to take a leisurely stroll. We spent some time at a local book fair, flipping through pages of old and new books, adding a relaxing and intellectual twist to our day. The lively energy of Mall Road, coupled with the soothing rains, created a perfect end to our historical journey.
Whether you're fascinated by India's colonial history or are simply looking for a picturesque day out in Shimla, this vlog brings you a perfect blend of history, culture, and local experiences. Explore with us the beauty and significance of Shimla's Vice Regal Lodge and Mall Road during the charming monsoon season.
