Delhi is not just a city of monuments and markets-it is a city of people, stories, and unforgettable characters.

At Kathika’s recent Baithak Pe Charcha, Dr. Swapna Liddle took us on a fascinating journey through the lanes of 19th-century Delhi, introducing us to the remarkable individuals who shaped the city’s cultural and social fabric.

Through forgotten anecdotes, intriguing tales, and lesser-known histories, the past came alive in the most engaging way.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an enriching evening of conversation, history, and discovery.

Some moments don’t need a calendar date to feel special. A mother’s love lives in the quiet gestures, the constant strength, the warmth that stays with us long after the moment has passed.

At Kathika, we celebrate every story of love, care, resilience, and nurture, not just on Mother’s Day, but every single day.
Featuring a beautiful moment with photographer Kirsty Larmour during her time at Kathika.
