Ripped off stuff...no way, man.

It's likely that any haveli tour you take will end up in one or more "antique shops," maybe owned by a friend of your guide. Please, do not buy anything from these shops. The stuff is ripped from the havelis, and supporting this will encourage the further deterioration of these old marvels. Doorknobs, window frames, most stuff you find in here was taken from one of the old houses.
