Sudarshan was a wise ruler and he shifted his capital from Srinagar, Uttarakhand to Tehri; the latter is covered by the hills and rivers.[9] Before the establishment of the new capital, there were no buildings in the area. He constructed the first building called "Purana Durbar Hall", where he used to carry out administrative reforms.[10][4][5]
