Zeenat Mahal Haveli, located in the heart of Old Delhi, is an architectural gem known for its exquisite Mughal and colonial-style design.

Constructed during the reign of Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar in the mid-19th century, it served as a residence for members of the royal family.

The haveli is named after Zeenat Mahal, one of Bahadur Shah Zafar's wives, who resided there for a period of time.

Its architectural features include intricately carved wooden doors, marble balconies, and delicate lattice work, showcasing the craftsmanship of that era.

Zeenat Mahal Haveli is renowned for its historical significance, as it was witness to key events during the Indian Rebellion of 1857, also known as the Sepoy Mutiny.

Over the years, the haveli has undergone restoration efforts to preserve its heritage and architectural integrity.
