Overview

Bagholi, located in Multai tehsil (English: administrative division) and surrounded by the Aravali Range of mountains, has 8 Rajput panas, each containing a separate haveli (manor). Brahmin and Baniya have individual havelis. Most local Baniya have moved to Kolkata, specifically for business in Burrabazar.

The village has the area's first electrical grid and provides water to the villages and nearby khetri (English: copper mines).[1]
