Once upon a time, Bikaner in Rajasthan was a buzzing Silk Route trade hub. Merchants rolled in, lured by royal incentives, and built themselves jaw-dropping havelis—because if you’re settling in the desert, might as well do it in style.
At its peak, Bikaner had over a thousand of these mansions. Today? Just 400 remain, mostly locked up, their owners long gone to other cities (or continents).
The showstoppers? The Rampuria Havelis—seven grand mansions built in the 15th century by the wealthy Rampuria brothers. One supposedly boasts 100 rooms and was among the first to get electricity.
Carved from Dulmera stone, these havelis glow in a dusty pink hue, blending Rajputana, European, and British influences. More carvings meant more wealth, and if you had stained glass windows or a triangular mansion at a road fork, you were definitely rolling in it.
Today, these once-glorious havelis stand still in time, wrapped in dust and memories—whispers of a golden era now fading into the past.
Rampuria Haveli, Bikaner
