Salim Singh Ji Ki Haveli

Salim Singh Ji Ki Haveli is located in the heart of Jaisalmer and is easily assessable.Its foundation was laid on the remnants of an ancient haveli(built in the 17th century).The haveli was constructed in 1815 and was an abode of the Mehta family of Jaisalmer. The haveli was accredited by Salim Singh, the then Prime Minister of the kingdom when Jaisalmer was the capital. Its architecture is truly praise worthy. The roof has been delicately carved out in the form of peacock which makes it look amazing. As you walk through the balconies which are around 38 in number you will clearly notice that each balcony is has a different style. The front feature of the haveli appear like a ship's after part and thus the haveli is also sometimes called as Jahaz mahal.
