== Architecture ==
The entire Nabha House is built on a raised platform. The eastern side of the house has the main entrance gate. The door is made of wood and iron nails are used to decorate it. Both the sides of the gate are well decorated with four Miharab. The gate takes the visitor into a rectangular yard. The second floor of the house also has two pillared windows. At the top of the monuments, a 15 feet temple is built which is dedicated to Lord Brahma.<ref name=":0" />

== History ==
It is believed that Nabha House was built roughly during the 1800s by Maharaja Hira Singh. It was built as residence for kings who would come to [[Sannihit Sarovar|Sannhit Sarovar]] to take bath during solar eclipses. After independence, the Nabha House was used as space for government school and then for an Ayurveda college.<ref name=":1" /> Nabha House was also used as classrooms and office space by Kurukshetra University in 1957 to 1959.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/weekly-pullouts/haryana-tribune/nabha-house-hosted-ku-classes-early-on/652968.html|title=Nabha House hosted KU classes early on|work=The Tribune}}</ref>
