Patwon Ki Haveli in Rajasthan
Patwon Ki Haveli in Rajasthan
The Patwon Ki Haveli in Jaisalmer is an interesting piece of Architecture and it is among the most important havelis over here. This is because of two things, first that it was the first haveli that was erected in Jaisalmer and second that it is not a single haveli but a cluster of 5 small havelis. All five small havelis in Patwon ki haveli were constructed in the first 60 years of the 19th century. These havelis are also known as the 'mansion of brocade merchants'. This name has been given probably because the family dealt in threads of gold and silver used in embroidering dresses. However, there are other theories also.
