jüSTa Diwans Bungalow I Facade

Ahmedabad, the capital city of Gujarat, is popularly called Walled City as it is surrounded by city walls defining the city limits. Ever since the conceptualisation by the founder Sultan Ahmed Shah, the city has undergone many developments, keeping the cultural heritage intact with architectural wonders. Listed among the world heritage sites by UNESCO, we present valuable facts about a 150-year-old heritage hotel in Ahmedabad, which will let you delve into the regal past. 

jüSTa Diwans Bungalow: A heritage hotel in Ahmedabad with royal bygone touch

The heritage hotel we are talking about is jüSTa Diwans Bungalow, to what we know today. Going back to its brief history, it was named after the mayor and scion of the Kadri family, Saiyed Bavamiyan Kadri, the Divan of Radhanpur who built it after his retirement when moving to Ahmedabad. The Kadri family is the owner of this ancestral property for the last 150 years. 

Man behind the heritage bungalow’s architectural brilliance

The first thing about this ancestral house that captivates onlookers’ attention is its iron railing gate. Much credit should be given to the genius architect IM Kadri for his spectacular architectural design of this royal bungalow and for bringing a unique blend of Gujarati and Islamic features.

His noted architectural designs include the Taj Coromandel in Chennai, the Fort Aguada Hotel in Goa, and the Taj Palace in Mumbai.

Early life
