Gaekwad Haveli, Historical haveli in central Ahmedabad, India.

The Gaekwad Haveli features heavy gates and an irregularly built wall that encloses three distinct sections including a garden and citadel.

Constructed in 1738, this mansion served as the seat of Maratha rulers before transforming into British army barracks and later a railway depot.

The structure represents the architectural traditions of Indian townhouses with specific adaptations for the local climate through natural ventilation systems.

The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation completed a restoration in 2014, enhancing the facade, main gate, and watchtower for public viewing.

A police museum within the watchtower commemorates Vasant-Rajab, two officers who lost their lives during the 1946 communal riots.
