It’s a cluster of 5 Haweli, the construction has done by considering the temperature of this place, so the mixture they used were red bricks and the arcade high walls help to keep the inside area of Haveli cool. Brilliant right.
Beautiful architecture @Sanjay_viswa and so full of details! It looks like an amazing place to just wander around and get lost.
Does anyone live in these building or are they being maintained for visitors to see?
@MortenSI It’s an amazing place to visit, the architectural brilliance is so good. Now no one lives in these buildings it’s maintained by Central govt. 
It makes sense in order to maintain the buildings @Sanjay_viswa but it would have been a gorgeous place to call home.
Did people live here back in the days when it was first built?
yes, @MortenSI Back in time Kings used to live in this place. There is one more interesting fact about this place, it took almost 55 years to build this place.
It does look like a place built for royals @Sanjay_viswa , it was probably considered high luxury back in those days.
With the amount of details every inch of this place has, I’m not surprised at all that it took so long. It’s actually very impressive that they were able to do it with such precision.
