Guru Ram Rai Durbar is one of the oldest built structures of Dehradun and a significant example of architectural amalgamation. The juxtaposition of architectural components of the various buildings present in Durbar precinct reveals a range of different architectural styles and impressions of art traditions prevailing at that time. The study helps in rediscovering the ‘Guru Ram Rai Durbar’, heritage lore of the city and identifies it as a Living Cultural Heritage site to be conserved for future. A comprehensive understanding of the Durbar through research and documentation leads to a sensitive conservation approach for Durbar.
