Dilapidated house of Punjabi poet Bawa Balwant in Neshta

The family of noted Punjabi poetry and prose writer, Bawa Balwant, continues to live in a ramshackle ancestral house. Bawa Balwant was born at his ancestral village Neshta in August 1915 and died in New Delhi in 1972. His collections Maha Nach (Grand Dance) and Sugandh-Sameer (Fragrance and Aroma), stirred the thoughts of generations of Punjabi readers.
