A summer residence of an effluent Hindu businessman Mr. Shivratan Cahndrarattan Mohatta is located near Clifton Karachi. The palace was built in 1927 in the Indian-Anglo Islamic architectural style using pink stone from Rajhastan. Sadly Mr. Mohatta didn't get to enjoy his house that he made so lovingly due to the partition of Hindustan. After partition the palace served as the official residence of Ms. Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah, after her death and remaining vacant for some decades the building was turned into a cultural museum. Today it serves not just as a beautiful landmark of Karachi but also as an art gallery and a museum.
It was one of the key places I had on my list when coming to Karachi.
