While the beautiful Tajmahal at Agra, the sombre Kutubminar in Delhi, the megnificent Palace of Lakshmi Bai at Jhansi, and the majestio Budhist Temple at Bodh. Gaya, are a living testimony to the past grandeur and glory of India, there are other places epually interesing which etill remain unexplored. Lal Haveli is one of those historical buildings which was presanted to a remote ancestor of the present owner, Thakur, by the emperor Humayun in grateful appreciation of his invaluable help in the battle of Chitor. . The dilapidated Lal Haveli still stands in all its neglected splendour and the impoverished Thakur makes much of his proud possession. To Thakur, Lal Haveli is eynonymous with the nobility and honour of the house; and no wonder the jealously guards it against pollution.
