Answer:

Havelis were the part of the architecture of the Indian subcontinent, which became popular during the region of the Mughal Empire in India. Havelis were masons of the wealthy and kings and queens in India. Havelis began to decline after Britishers took control in India. Maintaining Havelis became an expense and building them became impossible because of the rising taxes by the Britishers. The Havelis were sold to pay the debts.
