Sidhpur, Gujarat, India - September 16, 2015: Details of the 19th and early 20th century Dawoodi Bohra buildings or Bohrawads, as known locally in Sidhpur, Gujarat. Built by the Dawoodi Bohras, a Shia Muslim trading community from Gujarat. Today more than 100 such buildings exist. All differently colored but in depleted condition. As hardly anybody lives there. Most of the building lie locked. The buildings are laid in rows of narrow, deep structures, about three to four floors high. They have a strong European character with gabled roofs, ornate balconies, pilasters, columns and decorated doors and windows.
