Naughara is a small alley off Kinari Bazaar in Old delhi. There used to be many of these tiny gated streets in Old Delhi in the days of Shah Jahan, but sadly few remain. The nine houses or "Naughara", which are still residential homes, feature carved stone facades with latticed balconies and scalloped archways, typical of Mughal architecture, framed with carved flowers and vines. The havelis have beautifully carved wooden archways around brightly colored doorways. Most of the facades are now painted in a rainbow of colors, but the base is the same sandstone seen on havelis throughout the old city. Outside each door is a ‘potted garden’ of greenery. The houses are situated on the right of the alley and on the left is a walled common area (entered through an old doorway under a pointed arch) that was shared by these households. At the end of the cul de sac is the entrance to a carved white marble Jain Temple which is believed to be more than 2500 years old although much of it has been rebuilt. This tranquil residential street is a very welcome break from chaos of Old Delhi.
