History Of Butail Niwas
Pragpur, Himachal Pradesh, India
History and Grandeur: The Butail Niwas is a magnificent century-old mansion, a prominent structure within the Pragpur Heritage Village. Built by Lala Buta Mal, a descendent of the prosperous Chaujjar Sood clan, it reflects the mercantile success of the community who established and developed Pragpur . Its construction, designed to house Lala Buta Mal's six sons, features six identical apartments built around a central sunken courtyard. The courtyard is a masterpiece of passive cooling, as it would historically be flooded with water during the hot summer months to naturally regulate the temperature of the surrounding building. Cultural Significance: The Niwas stands as a testament to the blend of architectural influences and the high standards of living maintained by the local gentry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is one of the key points of the heritage walk, symbolizing the wealth and architectural ambition of the Sood families who invested their fortunes back into their ancestral village. The conservation of this privately-owned property contributes significantly to Pragpur's status as India's First Heritage Village.:
