Mirza Ghalib Ki Haveli

Mirza Ghalib was a very famous classical Urdu and Persian poet of India. The Mirza Ghalib’s Haveli that we can see now is where he had spent the better part of his life. He had named this haveli, “Hakimo ki Haveli”. It was almost in ruins a decade back and started being used as shops but, the Delhi government restored a part of it in 1999 and made a memorial here. This was inaugurated in the year 2000. The charm of the Chandni Chowk lanes increases with such an important place in here. The museum mostly houses selected pieces of poetries by Ghalib himself. Here you will also find letters penned down by the legend himself, his photographs, etc. The most important photograph is the last one that was clicked just a few days before his death. Another part of the haveli has been restored with great care to give it back its original grandeur.
