Naulakha, also known as Rudyard Kipling House, is a Shingle Style home in Dummerston, Vermont where author Rudyard Kipling wrote Captains Courageous. Kipling also wrote The Jungle Books, A Day's Work, and The Seven Seas, and did work on Kim and The Just So Stories here. Kipling had named the house after the Naulakha Pavilion, situated inside Lahore Fort. Etymologically Naulakha means nine lakhs or nine hundred thousand being the amount of rupees incurred for the cost of construction of the building. Another prominent example of similar use of the name is Naulakha Temple in Deoghar, Baidyanathdham (Jharkhand). The Mughal architecture of the monument had inspired him during his earlier stay (between 18821887) in Lahore.
