The Mall & Ridge Road
Mall Road is the main street in Shimla and was constructed during British colonial rule and is located a level below the ridge. This 7 km long thoroughfare, running from Boileauganj in the west to Chhota Shimla in the south-east, demarcates the original limits of the town. Ridge Road is a large open space, located in the heart of Shimla and runs east to west alongside the Mall Road, and joins it at the Scandal Point on the west side. On the east side, The Ridge road leads to Lakkar Bazaar. Ceremonial parades and official state functions are also held here.
