Welcome to Kathika

A museum-wali haveli like no other! Borrowing from the medieval art of dastan-goi and kathawachan traditions of storytelling, old delhi was known to have storytellers – in a formal setting or many times, it was the tangawalla enthralling his passengers with fables and real life accounts. It all made Shahanabad a very interesting place to live in and visit.
