The Havelis of Jaisalmer are great exemplars of the artistic expertise and opulence of not only the rulers of the desert sate but also of the nobles and merchants of the city. Nathmalji Ki Haveli was built by two architect brothers who built mansions which appears identical but are different and are united by a common façade. It is an elaborately carved haveli with intricate designs all over the mansions. It is an amazing feat of craftsmanship of the artisans who worked flawlessly to erect such a massive edifice.
The two brothers worked separately on two different annexes of the haveli. The intricate designs of the two parts are completely different but they have an amazing symmetry which brings a natural blend in the façade of the massive edifice. This merchant villa is richly carved with murals and frescoes, miniature Rajasthani paintings grace its walls and the hanging balconies and jharokas add to its ornamentation. Two yellow sandstone elephants welcome one in the entrance of the haveli.
Wealthy merchants of Rajasthan built gorgeous and elaborate havelis in the arid Thar Desert to add colors to their surroundings. Walking through the arid stretches of land it is a pleasure for the tired man to revel in the exquisitely designed mansions. Havelis in Jaisalmer are great tourist attractions and Nathmalji ki haveli is one of the best havelis of Jaisalmer.
