One of the pivotal highlights during the Heritage Week in November 2018,  orchestrated by LxS, was the immersive exhibition showcasing the essence of Ahmedabad's rich cultural tapestry. This multifaceted exposition delved into the realms of Photography, Architecture, Planning, and Illustrations, seamlessly intertwining the city's historical significance with its contemporary aspirations.

The event transcended beyond the realms of a typical exhibition; it was a celebration of human ingenuity, the power of collective memory, and a tribute to the cultural treasures that shape our societies. As the week came to a close, the echoes of Ahmedabad's glorious past reverberated in the hearts of all those who had the privilege to experience this sincere ode to heritage.


The Haveli, a cherished embodiment of traditional architecture, was ingeniously transformed into a captivating museum, inviting visitors to embark on a mesmerizing journey through time. Through a deft and ephemeral intervention, the museum's interior was thoughtfully curated, embellished with delicate fabric, graceful ropes, and subtle illuminations. This artful composition was purposefully crafted to accentuate the most distinctive architectural elements, delicately veiling any incongruous additions that might distract from the essence of the Haveli's true heritage.

As the gentle play of light danced across the museum's textured surfaces, an ethereal ambiance took hold. Illuminated pathways guided visitors through the corridors, illuminating the historical treasures they encountered along the way. Shadows gracefully flickered, weaving stories of the Haveli's grand past and gently alluding to the passages of time.

The ephemeral intervention seamlessly merged with the Haveli's soul, transforming it into a living, breathing ode to heritage. As visitors traversed its spaces, they were not merely spectators but participants in a sensory symphony, where the convergence of history and innovation painted a tapestry of cultural richness.

Indeed, this ephemeral museum embodied a delicate balance between preserving the past and embracing the present. With every installation, it beckoned visitors to connect with the soul of the Haveli and appreciate the profound heritage it held. An experience that left an indelible mark on every guest, fostering a renewed appreciation for the timeless beauty of architectural artistry.


The transformation of this previously underutilized space into an exhibition promenade brought about an extraordinary outcome, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of over a thousand individuals. Among them were not only local neighbors but also a myriad of external visitors who came together to celebrate Ahmedabad's resplendent heritage pride.

The once-forgotten area now thrived with life and purpose as it welcomed curious souls to embark on a unique journey through its captivating displays. This rejuvenated promenade became a conduit for cultural exploration, offering a seamless fusion of history and contemporary expressions.

The space, once abandoned, now served as a dynamic stage for creative expression. It beckoned artists, historians, and enthusiasts alike to converge and revel in the beauty of Ahmedabad's cultural legacy. Each visitor, in their unique way, became an integral part of the unfolding narrative, breathing new life into the historical contours of the promenade.

Through this exhibition promenade, Ahmedabad's heritage pride found a vibrant expression. It became a beacon, drawing people together, fostering dialogue, and nurturing a collective sense of belonging. The significance of this transformation went beyond the confines of architecture; it became a symbol of community engagement, a reminder that spaces, when thoughtfully revived, have the power to inspire, unite, and cultivate a profound sense of identity.
