Mirza Ghalib ki Haveli
ÂMirza Ghalib was a poet who lived during the swansong days of the Mughal Empire. Mirza Ghalib ki Haveli was his residence during this period. The residence is an amalgamation of Mughal and Indian architecture, and it gives a unique insight into the life and times of the renowned poet. The house is adorned with large portraits of the poet along with the many couplets inscribed by him. In addition, there are also a number of exclusive handwritten poems, which were never featured in any of the books written by him. This historical place in Delhi was taken over by the Delhi government who then converted it into a permanent memorial to the late poet.
Majnu ka Tila
ÂMajnu Ka Tila literally translates into the hillock of Majnu.

After conversing with the guru, he dedicated his life and work to spirituality and the service of God.
