Daidhee is a Sindhi word which means a small wall usually constructed inside the main entrance of any house in order to avoid direct exposure of the house. Similarly, this building, which is completely at the verge of collapse, was constructed on the front portion of the rest of havelis of Talpur Ameers in order to avoid direct exposure to the moment inside the havelis.
