Administrative Gall Governor Honour Lieutenant Murree Pakistan Pakistani Peshawar
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the elegant residence of His Honour the Lieutenant Governor of Peshawar, Nahia Gall, situated in the picturesque hill station of Murree, Pakistan. Dating back to the 1910s, this Kothi, or house, served as the administrative centre of Murree Tehsil and was the summer retreat for the British-appointed governor. The serene and tranquil setting of Murree, nestled amidst the verdant hills and lush greenery, made it an ideal summer resort for the British colonial rulers seeking refuge from the scorching heat of the plains. The architectural grandeur of the Kothi is evident in its imposing structure, with its tall, arched windows, intricate stonework, and sprawling lawns. The lush gardens surrounding the house are adorned with a variety of flowers and trees, adding to the beauty and allure of the scene. The crisp, clean air of Murree, combined with the breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, made it a favoured destination for the British elite during the colonial era. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Pakistan, providing a window into the past and the lives of those who once called this beautiful hill station home. The Kothi stands as a testament to the colonial legacy and the enduring charm of Murree, which continues to attract visitors from around the world to this day.
