Symbols in Inside the Haveli by Rama Mehta A symbol is literary device that contains several layers of meaning, often concealed at first sight, and is representative of several other aspects, concepts or traits than those that are visible in the literal translation alone. Symbol is using an object or action that means something more than its literal meaning. ‘Haveli’ is a term which has deep roots in the tradition and life of Rajasthan. The origin of the word is Persian and means “a surrounded or enclosed place”. Architecturally havelis were built according to a basic organization of residential rooms around open courtyards. More courtyards and rooms were added as a family grew in size or prospered economically. A typical haveli has separate courtyards for men, women and servants. As the domestic life was effectively concealed from public view in a haveli, architectural and social barriers screened the activities of the men’s and women’s quarters. Family members and relatives met e...

Inside the Haveli by Rama Mehta Minor characters Ajay Singh: Ajay Singh is Geeta’s husband. He is a Professor of science at Udaipur University. He is always busy with his work and spent very little time with Geeta. He tells Geeta that he knows that the life in the haveli would be difficult for her. He assures her that he would always support her in whatever decision she would take. He admits that men were really pampered and women in traditional society suffered but he loved her deeply and wanted to see her happy all the time. Ajay’s character is bit dull as he is over shadowed by his father. He lacks drive and initiative required in as owner of the haveli. He is quite unlike the member of a royal family.
