Bohra Houses, the gorgeous European-influenced, especially Renaissance styled architecture built over a century ago in the Muslim neighbourhood are major attractions of Sidhpur.
There is a special significance attached due to the Bohras urge for display and decoration. It is considered as an expression of social status and an extension of their religious belief.
Since its occupants don't reside here anymore due to migration to other cities for better prospects, these mansions are not properly taken care of.
