Raj Mandir Cinema

The Raj Mandir Cinema is instantly recognizable by its exterior, which features soft, sweeping curves and asymmetrical layers that resemble a large, pale pink celebration cake. Opened on June first, nineteen seventy-six, this theater was the vision of Mehtab Chandra Golcha, who wanted to create a space that felt like a royal palace for the public. Designed by architect W. M. Namjoshi, the building utilizes the Streamline Moderne style, a rare form of Art Deco that emphasizes movement through flowing lines and geometric shapes.
