Today we are going to see something that is really big and is very unique. Today we will see about the Biggest Residence:

The Biggest Residence in the world in terms of Area is the Istana Nurul Iman (photograph on the right) Palace which is the official residence of the Sultan of Brunei. Hassanal Bokiah, the present Sultan of Brunei, currently resides in this palace, that is approximately 200,000 sq.m in area. The name 'Istana Nurul Iman' literally means 'Palace of the Light of Faith'. It is located in Brunei's capital, Bandar Seri Begawan. It is also the Biggest Presidential Residence in the world. In contrast to its sprawling area, the Rashtrapati Bhavan, the official Residence of the President of the Republic of India is 19,000 sq.m.
