Historical building serve till to date
When I was posted at CHK I often used to see this monument while on my way. Then, its appearance from the main gate was so unimpressive that I never realized that it was a beautiful place of our heritage. Now I will try to visit there some time but parking problems are severe. So I think Sunday would be better but I dont know what time & day is good for going there..
