AN ANTIQUE ARCHITECTURE MARVEL
The building that houses the institute was originally built as a home for Lord Dufferin, viceroy of India from 1884 to 1888, and was called the Viceregal Lodge. the building had electricity back then in 1888 generated by a steam generator from London. There in in 1912 a hydro project was constructed to provide electricity near tatta pani. this place houses beautiful architecture dating back from 1884 like apricot wood ceiling, Burmese teak work construction and wax-based fire fighting systems. Now this place is known as IIAS a research center of humanities and sociology. The place is a must-visit one when one comes to Shimla to get an insight into the history of the partition of India and how the ruling was done by the British back in slavery days.

Mesmerizing
The view, the feel and the vibe is truly one of a kind. The tickets are of two kinds: 1. Outside in the lawn 2. Guided tour (40 mins) As we had limited time we could not do a guided tour and were travelling out in the lawn, and its beautiful. Its hard not to fall in love with the place. The view is just what you need on a morning.

Must visit in Shimla
Was worth visiting. Took a nice walk in the gardens while we were waiting for our guided tour. The place is very well maintained. It was amazing to be inside this heritage building. This was the first building to have electrical engineering and fire emergency systems. Amazing woodwork and architecture. The guide was well informed and kids really enjoyed. Would highly recommend to visit when in Shimla
