Patwon Ki Haveli is a popular tourist attraction located in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. From the narrow street it faces at first sight, many windows and balconies with intricate carvings would be seen, and once inside, the Haveli’s grandeur would be witnessed. The five havelis were constructed for the family and together the whole complex forms the town ‘s largest mansion. It still has a large number of artifacts and stonework that offer an insight into the Patwa family’s royal lifestyle. It is one of three havelis deemed to be impressive in the region.
This architecture’s complexity lies in its beautiful wall paintings, balconies opening up to a panoramic view, gateways, arches and, most notably, the mirror hangs on the wall. The Mural work is constructed specifically in one of the Haveli sections, and each part is isolated from each other and portrays a different style. The walls and ceilings of this golden architecture are carved into intricate patterns and miniature works of over 60 balconies.
Opening Hours: 8 am to 6 pm
