The
Dilkusha Kothi set amidst lush green lawn was built in the Gothic style.
Nawab Saadat Ali Khan built the Kothi and its adjoining magnificent
garden; the Kothi is almost an exact replica of an English Country house
called Seaton Delavel, built in 1721.
During the 1857 war of Independence, the Kothi attracted the wrath of
revolutionaries. It is currently being restored by the Archaeological
Survey of India, and is a popular picnic spot.
