Kathika Culture Centre, Old Delhi

About

Step into the poetic world of Mirza Ghalib through a captivating evening of Dastangoi and Ghazal, set against the stunning backdrop of the age-old Kathika Haveli in Old Delhi. This special performance features Fouzia Dastango, India's first female Dastango, alongside Firoz Khan, as they breathe life into Ghalib’s journey — his struggles, spirit, and unmatched literary genius. Ghalib, being a patron of Dastangoi himself, this presentation is a heartfelt tribute to the poet whose verses continue to echo through generations. The evening will also include a musical Ghazal performance by Dr. Meelu Verma, a distinguished Hindustani classical vocalist, who will render soulful compositions based on Ghalib’s poetry, adding a melodic dimension to the narrative.


The event concludes with an indulgent spread of Old Delhi delicacies, served in the timeless charm of Kathika’s haveli courtyard.
