Nathmal
Ji ki haveli was the residence of Diwan Mohata Nathmal, who was the then Prime
Minister of Jaisalmer. Commissioned by Maharawal Beri Sal in the 19th century,
the haveli was built by two architect brothers, Hathi and Lulu.
Nathmal Ji ki haveli is an irregularly shaped
structure. This is because the two brothers started building different sides of
haveli simultaneously without any access to instruments that could help them
maintain continuity and flow between the two corresponding parts of the haveli.
Despite the irregularity, this haveli has other
minute details worthy of appreciation. Two life-size elephants made of yellow
stone stand guarding the Haveli. There are pictures of horses, cattle and
various flowers engraved on pillars and walls.
But the most unusual aspect of this haveli are
the drawing of modern amenities such as cars, fans etc. Apparently, the architect
brothers never saw these things in real life; they engraved it merely by listening
to descriptions given by people who had seen these amenities.
