Queens Mansion, a five-story heritage building, greeted me with open arms as I ascended to its terrace. The moment I set foot on that expansive platform, the cityscape unfolded before my eyes like a grand tapestry of history and modernity. I got breathtaking views of the Eden Gardens, Harrow Hall, Karnani Mansion, TATA Steel, the iconic Park Hotel, and the distinctive Jawaharlal Nehru Building along with other architectural gems.
