Dhanraj Mahal
The Dhanraj Mahal is a historic Art Deco building located in the Colaba district of Mumbai, India, near the Gateway of India. It was constructed in the mid-1930s as the city palace for Maharaja Narsingir Dhanrajgir Gyan Bahadur of Hyderabad. It was the residence of the actress Zubeida Begum. The princely Dhanrajgir family commissioned the renowned British architectural firm Gregson, Batley & King to design the building. At the time of its completion (1935–1938) it was reportedly the largest and most expensive private residence in Bombay. Dhanraj Mahal’s design draws on early-20th-century Parisian Art Deco. Its façade is clad in a distinctive pale pink sandstone and features sweeping curved forms and geometric ornamentation. The structure has been officially designated a Grade III heritage structure under the Mumbai Municipal Corporation’s conservation regulations.
