But that’s exactly what happened when Instagram content creator Priyam Saraswat visited a one-of-a-kind residence in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. Known for showcasing unusual and extravagant homes across India, Saraswat’s latest video has captured the internet’s attention.

Gold, grandeur, and vintage cars
In the video, which has now amassed over 10 million views, Saraswat begins by seeking permission from the homeowners to explore their lavish estate. As the gates open, viewers are first greeted not by interiors, but by a jaw-dropping car collection featuring several luxurious vehicles, including a 1936 vintage Mercedes.
As the couple guides Saraswat through their home, the opulence is impossible to miss. “I can see a lot of gold,” Saraswat remarks, to which the man proudly replies, “This is our original 24-carat gold.” From decorative elements to even the electrical sockets, gold can be seen everywhere. In astonishment, Saraswat adds, “Even the sockets are made of gold.”
10 bedrooms and a growing empire
The couple reveals that the mansion contains ten bedrooms and also houses a gaushala (cow shelter) on the property grounds. When asked about his background, the homeowner shares an inspiring rags-to-riches story.
