Thanks for your comment.Since I wasn't pretty sure,I felt it pertinent to provide the answerer with the maximum number of options by consulting various resources.,IMHO PramodBhawan doesn't convey the meaning as it denotes a place or home for recreation.

PromodBhawan
so far I have seen, Burj stands for 'Minar' spiral, round, tall structure where you can see around far off; which usually people dont build in their backyard. You can find this term very commonly used in literature and stories. Hence 'PromodBhawan' I think is probably the most nearby term related to 'Gazebo'; nearer to 'Belvedere'
