Bagore Ki Haveli

I recently visited Bagore Ki Haveli, located near Gangaur Ghat at Lake Pichola, and it was a good cultural experience overall. If you are planning to attend the evening cultural show (Dharohar dance show), you need to reach around 4:00 PM to buy the entry ticket for the night show. There is usually a long queue, so it’s better to come early to avoid inconvenience. The entry ticket for the haveli was ₹125 per person, and an additional ₹125 is charged for photography. The cultural show itself was very good and truly represents Rajasthani tradition. The folk dances, music, and performances were energetic and entertaining. It gives a real feel of Rajasthan’s culture and heritage. However, the seating arrangement is quite limited. The area is small, and the seating feels uncomfortable, especially if the show is fully booked. Space management could definitely be improved. Overall, the show and cultural experience were worth watching, but visitors should be prepared for early arrival, long queues, and slightly uncomfortable seating. 🎭✨

Bagore Ki Haveli is a beautifully maintained heritage haveli located near Gangaur Ghat on Lake Pichola. The entry ticket is ₹60, which makes it a very budget-friendly attraction. You can explore the entire haveli in about 30–45 minutes. Inside, you’ll see old Rajasthani rooms, colorful glasswork, jharokhas, traditional costumes, utensils, masks, turbans, and artwork, which show how people lived in the old Mewar period. It’s also a great place for photography, with beautiful courtyards and mirror work. If you want to watch the traditional folk dance and puppet show, there is a separate ticket for the Dharohar Cultural Show held in the evening. The folk dance, music, and puppet performance offer a wonderful glimpse into Rajasthan’s cultural traditions. Bagore Ki Haveli was built in the 18th century by Amar Chand Badwa, the prime minister of Mewar. Later, it was used by members of the royal family, including Maharana Shakti Singh of Bagore. The haveli has more than 100 rooms, courtyards, and beautifully carved balconies. After years of neglect, it was restored by the West Zone Cultural Centre, which turned it into a museum showcasing Mewar’s heritage. A nice, peaceful heritage spot with affordable entry, perfect for a short visit. Great for learning about old Rajasthani culture and also for enjoying the evening folk dance show.

This is a beautifully preserved heritage haveli that offers a deep glimpse into Rajasthan’s royal past. The architecture, antique collections, costumes, and artwork are truly impressive. Each room reflects rich history and culture. The evening cultural dance show is a highlight and worth watching. A must-visit place in Udaipur for history lovers and anyone wanting to experience authentic Rajasthani heritage. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
