Typically Bawa

(Picture taken in Navsari, Gujarat)
This is a style of architecture that is typically Parsi in origin and has been incorporated in the design. A standing that marks of the tradition of Indian architecture and cultural heritage based on the lines of Parsi styles. This is a rare confluence of cultures that blends into one. More so when you notice the 'swastika' symbol  which is considered  sacred and holy by Buddhists, Hindus, Jains and Zoroastrians and remains very widely used from ancient times to present day, as well as a symbol of Nazism.
