Mandi House

This district around a central roundabout is the recognised cultural heart of the capital, clustering many of its most important arts institutions within walking distance. Around it stand national academies of music, dance and drama, exhibition galleries, theatres and rehearsal spaces that host a constant programme of performances and shows. Named after a former princely residence that once occupied the site, the area draws students, performers and audiences. It is a natural starting point for exploring the city's cultural life.
