The Dawoodi Bohras, a trading community of Gujarati Ismaili Shia merchants, flourished in Sidhpur from the 1820s to the 1930s. They built monumental mansions, made of wood, with stuccoed facades, ornate pilasters, trellised balconies and gabled roofs which have become identifying features of the architecture of this town. The houses are in a hue of pastel colours and every façade has an intricate monogram with the initials of the owners in Latin. Wikipedia
