The Story of Gopal Haveli - Residence of Ram & Hari Gopal - Residence Stories - Lahorenamah

In the heart of Lahore's walled city, there exists a shining example of dedication and passion for heritage: the restored Haveli of Gopal brothers. This remarkable achievement is the result of one man's tireless efforts, despite lacking formal training in conservation. His love for preserving the cultural legacy of Lahore serves as a beacon of hope for saving the dying houses of the walled city. Moreover, he boldly speaks out about the loss of Basant, the festival that once pulsated through the veins of Lahore, reminding us of its significance and the need to revive the city's vibrant traditions. Through his restoration work and heartfelt advocacy, he inspires us to cherish and protect our heritage, ensuring that Lahore's cultural treasures continue to flourish for generations to come.

The earthiness of Punjabiyat perculated this gentlemen's diatribe. An era bygone, of his and my ancestors, came alive through his words.
Lord Krishna's blessings upon him.

Great job, Awais Meer Sahib. I am also from Lahore, living in Islamabad for the past 18 years. I share your sentiments about the loss of Basant, a hallmark of Lahore. This festival of kites used to be far more exciting and joyful than Eids. Let us hope Basant is restored soon.
