Event Description

“Iss batwaare ke khaatir mujhe seecha gaya tha mujhe banaya nahi gaya, mujhe kheecha gaya tha” 

Gajar Ka Halwa is a journey through the echoes of history, the resilience of love, and the bittersweet taste of belief. Set in 1948, a year after independence in the fictional town of Navkot, it is a story of the invisible lines that were drawn not just on maps, but in our hearts and homes.

This is no ordinary retelling. The story unfolds through the voice of Laqeer - a personified boundary—who wrestles with the consequences of his existence and the guilt of dividing families. 

At the centre of this heart-felt tale is a father and daughter, Ardaas and Baani, who wait endlessly for the return of Harman, their beloved wife and mother. Through letters, hope and a simple recipe for Gajar ka Halwa (Baani’s favourite), she attempts to reach out for a love that cannot be replaced.

We have all heard stories of Partition - the violence, the displacement, the heartbreak. But what about the quiet echoes that lingered long after? What about the daunting secrets, the unopened letters, the loved ones who waited and kept waiting?

With poetry, music, and unforgettable characters, Gajar Ka Halwa makes you laugh and hold onto a feeling that stays with you long after the lights dim.

So get ready,

Kyuki janamdin Laqeer da aaya, karlo saare tayaari!
