The Viceroy’s Palace was situated at the end of the Kingsway. The central dome of the Viceroy’s Palace was copied from the Buddhist stupa at Sanchi, and the red sandstone and carved screens or jails were borrowed from Mughal architecture.
The Viceroy’s Palace was higher than Shah Jahan’s Jama Masjid as the British wanted to assert their power.
