They host storytelling events where other Sheherwali families are invited to share their untold stories with the host family. They also offer instruction in the ancient embroidery technique known as “Kantha” stitching. You can also experience the views and sounds of the Ganga, which flows past their backyard.

Several of the Kothi’s original chambers, including the Music Room, Sheesh Mahal, Library, Gaddi Ghar, Durbar Hall, Janana Chowk, Gulabi Chawara, and Halwai Khana, are still in existence today.
