Nathmal Ki Haveli was commissioned in the late 19th century by Diwan Mohata Nathmal, the then Prime Minister of Jaisalmer. It was intended as his private residence and a symbol of opulence and refined taste. What sets this haveli apart is that it was designed by two architect brothers who worked on the structure simultaneously but independently. As a result, the haveli displays an intriguing architectural asymmetry, with each side reflecting distinct detailing, though blending seamlessly into one masterpiece.

The façade features floral carvings, latticed windows, and ornate balconies, while the interior is adorned with gold leaf paintings and mirrored ceilings. The stonework includes unusual motifs like bicycles, fans, and even cars, indicating the influence of modern life on traditional design during the British era. Though partially occupied today, the haveli is open to visitors, offering a peek into aristocratic living of 19th-century Jaisalmer. It stands not only as a monument of architectural innovation but also as a testament to Jaisalmer’s evolving aesthetic heritage.
