The grand Vohrawad mansions would not look out of place somewhere in Europe, but they are in Sidhpur, in the Indian state of Gujarat. Their opulence transports visitors back to an epoch of great wealth and multiculturalism in India’s eclectic history. Built in a distinctive European style, the Vohrawads have gabled roofs, ornate balconies, pilasters, columns and decorated doors and windows. 200 years ago this was an upscale neighbourhood but today it is mostly deserted and has fallen into decay.
