| Steps lead to underground rooms of the Farhat Baksh and below to the Chattar Manzil. The twin buildings are now under renovation |
 |
| These two buildings now handed over to the ASI, were in use as the offices and laboratories of the Central Drug Research Institute which was opened in 1951 by India's first Prime Minister, Pt Jawaharlal Nehru. |

Hey Georgie, the Building hasnt been returned to the ASI. It has been handed over to the State Archaeology Department for proper repairs and restoration. ASI had this monument in their list from the year 1925 upto 1961 , till it was delisted by them.These splendid twin monuments are the most beautiful edifices of yore, and are now being conserved using the traditional material .
Thanks Mohammad for the correction!
