Shilong is the capital of the north eastern state of Mehgalya. Natural beauty of the city, Verdant hills slopes and tranquil air , its localites mesmerise the tourist.
In 1935, Raibahadur Kanaklal Barua, a prominent citizen of Assam who served as a member of the Viceroy's Executive Council, built a lodge in the popular neo-colonial style of the times. The architect was his son, Tapan Lal Barua, but it was after his daughter - Rosa - that the Rosaville lodge was named.
The lodge remains within the family and retains all the flavour of a family home but Rosa now lives in Mumbai and the doors of the lodge were opened to visitors. |
