From #Mahesana we boarded a bus to #Siddhpur . Ticket fare was only Rs.41/- and it took around an hour to reach the Siddhpur bus stand .From there we hired an auto to reach the #BohrawadParisGalli #Bohravad .



The Dawoodi #Bohras are a Shia Muslim trading community of Gujarat .

The word bohra infact came from the Gujrati word "vyapar" meaning to trade .

They ventured out in foreign nations for trade and commerce and was influenced by the Victorian styled European architecture.



They imitated the same design in building their own residences back in siddhpur and developed a unique style by combining European, Indian and Muslim architectural style which stands out distinctly .

These beautiful wooden mansions are painted with pretty pastel hues of baby pink , sky blue , peach ,lime green amongst others .



Walking across these beautiful houses gives a feeling of walking in the streets of a European country .



These homes are now deserted because the trading community have now shifted to Ahmedabad and Mumbai for a better livelihood .



#Shooting of Famous movies like #RRR and #Raees have taken place over here .



We simply fell in love with the place ❤️



The most famous house of the Vohrawad Community is the House with 360 windows.
