This Kotwara house of Meera and Muzzafar Ali, is an oasis of calm in the noisy and chaotic old quarters of Lucknow known as Qaiserbagh. As soon as you step onto the woven dhurrie-clad floors of this heritage home, you are engulfed by the sense of stillness and quiet that pervades the house.
This family property is so precious to the couple that they almost regard it with reverence. Meera said, “While it is an uphill task to maintain a heritage property like this, I consider it a privilege and a responsibility to keep this historic home functioning.“. Meera and Muzaffar also conducted extensive research on period architecture and design, as well as went into family albums to study vintage photographs, in order to recreate the authentic look of the interiors.

Take a tour of this ancestral home ‘Kotwara House’ which is nestled within the old quarters of Lucknow.

Deeply rooted in the Bhakti tradition, it was earlier performed in temples by Devadasis. The film Sanchari synthesizes the philosophical aesthetics of the dance form with the techniques required to perform it as well as the process involved in the transfer of knowledge from the teacher to the student.
