The Teen Murti Bhavan
(Teen Murti House) is the former residence in New Delhi, India of the first
Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru. He stayed there for 16 years until
his own death on 27 May 1964.
The house is named
after the Teen Murti (literally "three statues") Memorial by British
sculptor, Leonard Jennings, which stands on the road junction in front of its
extensive grounds. The memorial comprises life-size statues of three soldiers,
and was built in 1922 in the memory of the Indian soldiers from three Indian
princely states, namely Jodhpur State, Hyderabad State and Mysore State who
fought the World War I alongside the British 15th Imperial Service Cavalry
Brigade in Haifa, which was then part of the Ottoman Empire. (Wikipedia)
