House at Nagarvado

The house at Nagarvado, Patan has been adopted as the CEPT Conservation Site School. The site is located within the historic core of Patan City and is owned by the Majmundar Family. It is a long narrow corner house built with timber and brick, at the junction of two entrances of the wadas. The house is rectangular in plan with a central courtyard, the cabin above the entrance also termed as 'delo' is utilised as a workplace by the family. This house was occupied by a joint family of practising lawyers. One of the ancestors was Diwan in the Gaekwad State. The digital documentation team at CHC has documented the structure, which will be helpful in determining the safeguarding measures for the structure in the near future.
