Rajasthan Tourism
Discover a masterpiece of architectural ingenuity and artistic rivalry at Nathmal Ki Haveli, a unique 19th-century merchant's mansion in the heart of Jaisalmer. Commissioned in 1885 by Diwan Mohata Nathmal, the then Prime Minister of Jaisalmer Kingdom, this haveli is famed for its extraordinary exterior, seemingly adorned with intricate carvings. Its most captivating detail lies in its construction: legend states it was built simultaneously by two brothers, Hathi and Lulu, working independently on each side. This resulted in a subtly asymmetrical yet perfectly harmonized structure, a rare blend of Rajput and Islamic architectural styles. The facade is adorned with exquisite carvings of elephants, horses, and various flora, alongside fascinating depictions of modern inventions like cars and fans, reflecting the advent of a new era. Exploring such historical buildings is among the top things to do in Jaisalmer.
