History
Bagore ki Haveli in Udaipur, India is an ancient building built in the eighteenth century by Amir Chand Badwa who, at that time, was the Prime Minister of Mewar. The word “Haveli” in Hindi means ‘mansion’. Till then, this particular Haveli did not get its name as other Havelis in Udaipur.
After the demise of Amir Chand, Maharana Shakti Singh of Bagore was the new occupant of the Haveli. It was Shakti Singh, who named the Haveli, “Bagore ki Haveli”, which in Hindi means ‘mansion of Bagore’. The Haveli during that time belonged to the State of Mewar.
Over centuries, Bagore ki Haveli had been a centre of attraction for tourists from all over the globe. However, after independence, that Bagore ki Haveli, Udaipur was almost left unattended. It was only in 1986, when it housed the West Zone Cultural centre, that Bagore ki Haveli started regaining its somewhat lost glory.
