Hammam-e-Qadimi

Hammam-e-Qadimi (Urdu: حمامِ قدیمی, Hindi: हम्माम-ए-क़दीमी) is a functional 18th century Turkish bath in Bhopal, India.

[1] Erected in the early 1700s during the rule of the Gonds,[1] Hammam-e-Qadimi was gifted to Hajjam Hammu Khalida when Dost Mohammad Khan became Nawab of the city.

[1] The Indo-Turkish bath is owned by a descendant of Hajjam Hammu Khalida, Mohammad Sajid, and has been kept in his family for five generations.

[3][1][2] Sanchari Pal describes the interior of Hammam-e-Qadimi:[4] The public bathing area of Hammam-e-Qadami consists of many windowless chambers.

The steam is generated by burning logs in the arched basement, which heats water in a large copper vessel.
