STRUCTURE
The structure forms a long rectangle
of three storeys, raised in the centre
to accommodate the entrance porch.
Above the central arched entrance
rises a huge dome, tiled in white and
blue flecks, supported on a lotus-
petal base.
Around the dome is an array of
pinnacles, each topped by a miniature
dome. Indian motifs such as brackets
and protruding eaves are combined
with so-called Islamic arches and tiny
domes.
The plan of the structure is simple,
with a central dome. It has open
verandah inspired from the British
colonial bungalows.
