Haveli of Timeless Frames

In the winding heart of Old Delhi, Kathika isn’t just a space - it’s a quiet homecoming. Tucked within a weathered haveli, this heritage venue is a love letter to Shahjahanabad’s layered history. Resurrected by a photographer and cultural archivist, every corner is not merely curated - it is framed. Like a photograph.

What Makes It Special

• Restored 19th-century haveli nestled in the old lanes of Shahjahanabad

• Open central courtyard with monochrome patterned flooring and vintage lion benches

• Baithak-style seating rooms designed for intimate gatherings, mehfils, and performances

• Each frame, corner, and object intentionally placed for visual storytelling

• Gallery walls of rare archival photographs, prints, instruments, and everyday memorabilia

• Verdant arched verandas and carved sandstone columns that blend Islamic & colonial details

• Ideal for cultural events, storytelling performances, heritage film shoots, interviews, and immersive editorial shoots

This is not just a space - it is a way of seeing. A frame held up to the soul of Delhi, reminding us that heritage isn’t meant to be archived. It’s meant to be shared, sung, spoken, and passed on.
