Ghalib ki Haveli

ग़ालिब की हवेली Ġālib kī Havelī

The residence of the 19th-century Urdu poet Mirza Ghalib, now converted into a museum. It consists of artefacts related to the poet and his times, as well as his various hand-written poems besides his books. The museum also houses a life-size replica of the poet in a realistic setting with a hookah in his hand. Portraits of Ustaad Zauq, Abu Zafar, Momin, and other noted contemporaries of Ghalib can also be seen. The building itself is an example of Delhi's Mughal architecture.
