History OF Patwon Ki Haveli Jaisalmer

The construction of the Havelis of the Patavs started in 1805 by Jaisalmer businessman Guman Chand Patwa at a distance from the Jaisalmer Fort on the advice of a Jain priest, in which separate Havelis were built for his five betos for the next four decades. Which is known as Patwaon Ki haveli.

Gumanchand Patwa, who built Patwaon Ki haveli, was a large businessman of Jaisalmer who used to work with gold and silver, as well as paying a large amount on interest.

Until the early nineteenth century, this mansion was the main center of the trade of the Patwos in Jaisalmer.

The Patwon haveli is the largest mansion in Jaisalmer and is on a narrow street. The mansion is currently occupied by the government, which uses it for various purposes.

The Office of the Archaeological Survey of India and the State Arts and Crafts Department is located in the mansion itself.

These five-story Patwaon Ki haveli, built in the narrow streets of Jaisalmer, is built in Rajput and Islamic style. The idea of ​​making in Islamic style came from those Islamic countries which used to fall on the Silk Route passing through Jaisalmer at that time.

The Havelis are made of the Jaisalmer-trained yellow stones, out of these five tourists can roam only in two Havelis.

The rest of the mansion is closed due to poor maintenance. There is a danger of them collapsing at any time.
