About

An Urban Cultural Retreat

Khalikdina Hall and Library was built in 1906 by philanthropist Ghulam Hoosain Khalikdina in the tradition of the reading room to facilitate local people to engage in literary and recreational activities.

We restored, revitalised and opened up the Khalikdina Hall and Library as an inclusive, cultural urban retreat, promoting healthy exchanges amongst visitors of different age groups, genders, ethnicities and socio-economic groups.

Supported by the British Council’s Cultural Protection Fund in partnership with the UK Government's Department of Culture, Media and Sports.
