Beyond the Veil: Tracing the Legacy of Tawaifs & Kothas

With the award-winning, six-year-old, women-led heritage initiative Enroute Indian History, you can step back in time and experience the lost beauty of Delhi's old-world charm. This thoughtfully curated experience invites you into the vibrant, storied world of the Tawaifs, cultured courtesans who once held sway over the city’s social, literary, and musical landscape. Far from being mere entertainers, these women were patrons of poetry, masters of classical music and dance, and influential tastemakers of their time.
