Kites Wrapped in Silver Warq | The Nawab - Mohd Taqi Abbas Rashi Khanna, host of Ra by Rashi Foundation, in conversation with Taqi Abbas, founder of Lucknow Uncovered, a young Nawabi storyteller breathing life into forgotten tales of his city. Born into the old Asafi Mahal lineage, Taqi draws from his family’s legacy to uncover Lucknow’s lesser-known corners—from artisanal craftsmen like Battu Bhai to heritage architectures rarely seen by outsiders. One of the traditions he highlights is kites wrapped in silver warq—a symbol of royalty, nostalgia, and the delicate craftsmanship that once defined the city’s skies. Join us to explore how memory, identity, and storytelling can revive a city’s soul.
