| Introduction | Master ji Kee Haveli effortlessly combines the charms of the old world with the comforts of the modern. Not surprisingly it is rated as one of the old traditional maintained Haveli’s in Delhi. The Haveli is a fine edifice that has been built on the lines of traditional Mughal architecture. Any onlooker is sure to be impressed with the carved pillars, the open terraces and other features of the Old Delhi traditional surroundings with a view of Jama Masjid from the terrace. It is an old-style 4-storied home with a central courtyard flanked by rooms with 58 doors. The Haveli is maintained by Masterji Late Ram Kishan Gupta’s wife aged 94 years and his eldest daughter and family. The family is a Hindu vegetarian; they are old time residents of Shahjahanabad; and this is one of the few homes that hasn’t been broken down or divided into pieces and sold to multiple people. It is a chance to meet four generations staying together and see what life is really like in this narrow crowded part of Old Delhi, where adjacent houses share a common wall, and everyone knows everyone else |
