Large mansions of merchants were called havelis.
The Mughal aristocracy in the 17th century and 18th century lived in grand mansions which comprised of wall compounds, courtyards and fountains. They were called havelis. A haveli housed several families. On entering the haveli through a beautiful gateway, the person reached an open courtyard surrounded by public rooms meant for visitors. Many of the Mughal Amirs were unable to maintain these large establishments under conditions of British rule. Therefore, havelis began to be sold. Often the street front of the havelis became shops of warehouses. Some havelis were taken over by upcoming mercantile class but many fell into decay and disuse. The colonial bungalow being different from the havelis became popular as they were meant for nuclear families.
