💃 Tawaifs & Kothas: A Walk Through Delhi’s Forgotten Courtesan Culture

Step into the world of grace, wit, and artistry as we explore the lives of Tawaifs—the courtesans who once defined high culture, poetry, and performance in Delhi. This walk takes you through old city lanes that once echoed with ghazals, thumris, and the quiet power of women who shaped taste and tradition.

Uncover the layered stories of kothas—not as places of shame, but as salons of sophistication, resistance, and refined art. Let’s reclaim these narratives and see history through a different lens.
