Bharat Singh, founder of Jaipur Houses, is on a mission to rescue the disappearing beauty of Rajasthan’s old haveli walls. Raised on stories from Jaipur’s alleys, he began documenting havelis, stepwells, and forgotten architecture to preserve what modernisation might erase forever. With over 55,000 followers across Instagram projects like Jaipur Houses, Jodhpur Houses, and Stepwell Country, he has become the voice of heritage that refuses to vanish.

In this episode of Dostcast, Vinamre and Bharat discuss:

- Why Jaipur’s vanishing houses are not just architecture—they’re memoirs of society, caste, and identity.

- How Vastu, urban planning, and colonial history shaped the layout of the Pink City.

- The shocking stories behind Laal Maas, the Pink City aesthetic, and what “undiscovered Jaipur” really means.

- How stepwells and lineage connect more deeply than you imagine to caste, city planning, and modern decay.

- What travellers should really know before visiting: heritage fades fast.

If you’ve ever wondered why old cities feel haunted, why so many beautiful homes are crumbling, or what your tour guide isn’t telling you—this episode will change how you see Jaipur.
