  • This Kotwara house of Meera and Muzzafar Ali, is an oasis of calm in the noisy and chaotic old quarters of Lucknow known as Qaiserbagh. As soon as you step onto the woven dhurrie-clad floors of this heritage home, you are engulfed by the sense of stillness and quiet that pervades the house.
    This family property is so precious to the couple that they almost regard it with reverence. Meera said, “While it is an uphill task to maintain a heritage property like this, I consider it a privilege and a responsibility to keep this historic home functioning.“. Meera and Muzaffar also conducted extensive research on period architecture and design, as well as went into family albums to study vintage photographs, in order to recreate the authentic look of the interiors.
    Take a tour of this ancestral home ‘Kotwara House’ which is nestled within the old quarters of Lucknow.

      Kalyug has not “breathed” us hollow. Recognizing the humanity in different types of people is not a bad thing. And romanticizing the past doesn’t serve any real purpose either. One can admire what was beautiful back in the day and make an effort to pass that on without being a dick about the progress being made in ideas in hearts and minds of young people. There was a lot that was wrong and unfair and bad back in those days. And there’s plenty that we still need to work on today. That’s that. No romanticization needed, no demonization needed.

    Beautiful place but I think it has to be opened to the public, partially, so that it can be sustained as a museum for the culture of Lucknow.

      Aren’t these people living there? It’s important to respect their privacy. We should be grateful they’ve shared this glimpse and we can let that inspire us.

      It seems like the theme music from the 1981 film Umraojaan. He made that film.

    The house looks gloomy with old furniture and artifacts. Now-a-days it is cumbersome to maintain such a huge mansion.
