Nathmalji ki Haveli

Located in the heart of Jaisalmer, Nathmalji Ki Haveli is highly appreciated for its marvelous architecture and intricate carvings.

Constructed by two Muslim brothers in the 19th century, the splendid Haveli served as the residence of the then Prime Minister of the city, Diwan Mohata Nathmal.

Being given a harmonious blend of Rajput and Muslim style of architecture, the imposing structure of Nathmalji Ki Haveli brilliantly adds to the glory and grandeur of Jaisalmer. As one enters the Haveli, giant structures of two elephants are likely to catch his fancy. These two structures are made up of yellow sandstone and are placed right at the entrance.
