5th foto from top

[Yagya]

correct! I guess the light bulbs and the polished doors give it away! but isn't it nice to see a building being built in the same style!

[Euromast]

polished doors.

I have never seen the interiors of these havelis. from outside these look grand but from inside?? space and feel?

[Yagya]

I'll post some interiors later but they're pretty specious. The rooms in most havelis are around a chowk ( square with no roof). Groundfloor is occupied by living rooms, temple room, kitchen and the first floor is made up of bedrooms.
