Along New Delhi’s lush, wide, tree-lined Shantipath lies a stunning off-white mansion. Its façade is adorned with striking grill-work that many a scampering child has attempted to scale, which is obscured, slightly, by towering golden pillars. It is simple and yet majestic; its design is clean though not austere. Befittingly, for the stature of those that have walked its halls, the building projects power. Since January 20, 2021, however, it has lain barren.
