Abha Narain Lambah

Abha Narain Lambah (born 1970) is an Indian conservation architect whose eponymous architectural practice has restored several of India's UNESCO World Heritage Sites like the Ajanta Caves, Golconda Fort and Mahabodhi Temple, and Mumbai's Victorian buildings like the Crawford Market, Royal Opera House, Asiatic Society of Mumbai Town Hall and Knesset Eliyahoo Synagogue.

The firm prepared the successful UNESCO Nomination Dossiers for the World Heritage Sites of Rabindranath's Santiniketan and Mumbai's Victorian and Art Deco Ensembles as well as Management Plans for Amber Fort and for Le Corbusier's historic Chandigarh Capitol Complex in Chandigarh.

[6] The architectural practice has worked on a range of historic forts and caravanserais across Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Punjab as well as Buddhist sites such as Bodh Gaya, Sarnath, Ajanta and Basgo.

Her first project was to finalise urban signage and street furniture guidelines for Dadabhai Naoroji Road, along which many of the city's Gothic Revival and Neoclassical buildings are located.

[8][9][10] Lambah has acknowledged the influence of Joseph Allen Stein and Charles Correa on her practice.
