Baghor, a village nearby Bhilwara in Mewar bestowed the name to Baghor ki Haveli, which was built up by Shri Amar Chand Badwa in the 18th century. Later on, Maharana Nath Singhji was been granted Baghor village to have power over it and Baghor ki Haveli to live in as being the second eldest son of Maharana Sanghram Singhji while signing off the sovereignty to all his sons.
After being left with no heir of Maharana’s succession West Zone Cultural Centre then intervened and took charge of it in the year 1986 and restored the culture, customs and traditions, ethnicity and way of life of Maharana and his family and people. WZCC also provided some new highlights to the Haveli and made it a renowned and a focal point for the tourists and sightseers in Udaipur like adding an evening show, attaching more rooms and attractions in it like display of lifestyle of Royal kins, kitchen utensils, sculptures of eminent monuments of the world, exhibition of royal wedding and preserving the weapons, costumes and appliances of Royal family.
