Answer:
What do you mean by havelis?
A haveli is a traditional townhouse or mansion in the Indian subcontinent, usually one with historical and architectural significance. The word haveli is derived from Arabic hawali, meaning "partition" or "private space", popularised under the Mughal Empire, and was devoid of any architectural affiliations.
Open inwards and closed from outside, with elaborate archways, latticework jharokhas and the quintessential chowk in the middle, the havelis of the walled city could be converted from a private residence of a typical North Indian joint family into an elaborate hosting ground for a baraat, practically overnight.
