Abstract

Shadi Lal, a monumental masterpiece of Mughal architecture, urgently demands comprehensive restoration and preservation efforts. This research seeks to address documentation and preservation issues related to the Shada Lal building. This project analyzed the processes that lead to the degradation of the building, including human vandalism and environmental effects, to formulate solutions to mitigate future damage and restore its historical importance. The study sought to identify historical damage and provide remedies to restore the bungalow to its original state, adhering to recognized conservation principles. A thorough analysis of the bungalow reveals that extensive structural repairs are imperative, transcending beyond mere cosmetic restoration. To ensure the bungalow's enduring legacy, formulating a comprehensive conservation strategy is critical, actively engaging the local community and fostering a sense of responsibility and stewardship. Further, detailed architectural documentation is vital to facilitate ongoing research and conservation initiatives, ensuring that every aspect of the property's historical and architectural significance is meticulously captured and preserved for future generations.
