Salim Singh ki Haveli

The Salim Singh Ki Haveli in Jaisalmer, completed in 1815, was built on top of an existing 17th century Haveli. The Haveli used by the most powerful family of the time, the Mehtas, was commissioned by then-Prime Minister Salim Singh, who is also the name of the Haveli. The Haveli, which was designed in a distinct style, has unique features such as a peacock-inspired roof and gateways guarded by authentic elephant sculptures. The Haveli's balconies are one of its most notable features; there are 38 of them, each with its own unique style.
