Nadiad ni haveli

Nadiad ni haveli, also called Bhausaheb Desai ni Haveli, is a haveli (traditional mansion) in Nadiad, Gujarat, India. Historically significant, the haveli hosted national figures such as Tatya Tope during the 1857 rebellion, Swami Vivekananda in 1892, and Mahatma Gandhi during the 1918 Kheda Satyagraha. Spanning 9,000 square meters with 249 rooms, the structure features traditional Gujarati timber-brick architecture enriched with colonial and Hindu elements, bronze-covered balconies, rainwater harvesting, and eclectic interiors. Divided among Desai's descendants in 1902, it remains one of the largest privately owned residences in India.
