Highlights

Tour to the alley and quarters of a bygone era, the private mansions or havelis of Old Delhi. Open inwards and closed from outside, with elaborate archways, latticework jharokhas and the quintessential chowk in the middle, the havelis of the walled city were a private residence of a typical North Indian joint family. Unending corridors, lotus shaped fountains, a square shaped layout for the rooms with raised parapets and a viewing gallery were their basic features. Take a sneak peak into the lives of the rich and affluential with Chunnamal’s haveli, Begum Samru’s or Mirza Ghalib. These will fill you with both nostalgia and wonder.
