OWNER OF THE HAVELI

The Haveli belonged to MALIK MUHAMMAD HUSSAIN who had 4 children's (three sons and one daughter).So after he died the Haveli was passed onto them.I'm the grandson of his daughter and Malik Muhammad Hussain was greatgrand father.So definitely The Haveli belongs to me and my family.

The construction started in 1891 and the Haveli was finally completed in the year 1893

THE DESCRIPTION/PHYSICALITY OF THE HAVELI

The Haveli (ماڑی in urdu/Niwas in Hindi) is an antique and precious architectural piece located in the village Bherth Sharki built in 1891.Which has strong walls built with 4 feet of bricks in width (Approximately of 8 layers of bricks in width),it consists of light port which provides light to the rooms and proper functioning air went of the old times,it has floors made up beautiful tiles which were too expensive to buy at that time, As their was no electricity at that time so it consisted of a huge hand fan with the rope so as the servants pulled the rope it provided cool air and air conditioned the rooms,It has antique doors made up wood brought from Kashmir and with beautiful designs on it. The roof has beautiful designs on it which are quite impressive,The whole view of the village can be seen from the roof which shows how high is it,It has huge rooms that even an elephant can easily fit in it,It was so safe that during partion many Hindu and Sikh families took refuge in it and then those families were safely returned to indian government after partion, during the war of 1965 the people of the village would usually hide in it as it was the most safe plate at that time.It was the first house to be installed with electricity in 1964 on the request of Malik Muhammad Hussain to Sheik fazal elahi paracha who was federal minister under ayub khan president of Pakistan and was his close friend.The Haveli is in good condition but some parts are needed to be repaired and restored like the roofs,it has some cracks on the walls and some roofs of the rooms are being worn out,but still if it is repaired it will become the most beautiful palace of all time.

NARRATIVE ABOUT THE MEMORIES CONNECTED TO THE HAVELI

I Personally didnt have spent much time in the Haveli but my father tells that when his summer vacation started he would usually visit the Haveli where he would gather with his cousins and they would all play together games like Hide n seek,At night they would watch movies on Vcr's, .In hot days they would bring fresh fruits like mango,oranges from the vast baghs/باغ which their family owned and would enjoy them.Some time they would go on the top of Haveli from where they could have a whole view of the area and would enjoy it.

I Wanted to say that most importantly please mention the history of Malik Muhammad Hussain which I've shared and told above. And I will share the pictures of The Haveli and Malik Muhammad Hussain after some few hours.""
