The name Teen Murti Bhawan was derived from the three statues of soldiers. After the death of Jawaharlal Nehru this building is maintained as a research library and a museum. Some of Nehru's belongings are preserved here, for example, a watch,which used to be kept on a table beside his bed.

The Teen Murti Bhawan was constructed as a memorial for those Indian soldiers who lost their lives in the World War I. Delhi's Teen Murti Bhawan is closed on public during public holidays and on all Mondays. Teen Murti Bhawan is one of the finest museums of the country.
