Mrs. Bhandari’s by The Mirage

An oasis in the chaos that is Amritsar with old fashioned service, expansive gardens, and excellent home made fresh food. The 1930s colonial style house stands as a timeless emblem of elegance and historical charm.

A Brief History

Planned and built by Rustomjee Mulhaferoz, this magnificent British Raj Bungalow later came to his niece Tahmi Boga. Tahmi Boga married a barrister fresh from England, Padam Chand Bhandari, from a prestigious Hindu family. A Hindu-Parsi love marriage, unheard of in those times. Padam Chand Bhandari moved in with Tahmi, avoiding the traditional Hindu joint family rules where, being a Parsi bride, she wasn’t quite welcome.

Mr. Bhandari was elected the executive officer of Amritsar, equal to the mayor of today. He accumulated a great degree of renown and prestige. The bridge connecting the old city with the new, is named after him.

Upon the early passing of Mr. Bhandari, with the help of her family friends Mrs. Bhandari was able to secure a license to run a guest house in the army cantonment area. Just as Bhandari bridge connects old city to the new city, so does Mrs.Bhandari’s Guest House prove to be the perfect conduit between the grandeur of a bygone era and today’s fast paced life.

The Main Bungalow

The house boasts 4 suites which allow guests to step into a time capsule and experience the luxury of the Old India. With high ceilings, a grand piano to enjoy, fireplaces to seek warmth from, a library to spend a day reading and a swimming pool to beat the heat, there is plenty to appreciate here.

There are 4 rooms with attached baths available in the historic Main House.

The Courtyard Rooms
