Salim Singh ki Haveli, located in the heart of Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, is an architectural marvel steeped in history, dating back to the 18th century. Constructed by Salim Singh Mahto, the then Prime Minister of the princely state of Jaisalmer, the haveli is distinguished by its distinctive architecture. Sometimes also referred to as Jahaz Mahal, due to the front facade of the building resembling the stern of a ship, this haveli is a testament to the city's rich cultural heritage. The mansion features a splendid arched roof with superbly carved brackets in the form of peacocks. The walls are adorned with intricate patterns and the haveli showcases a deft mix of Rajput and Islamic architectural styles. With 38 balconies, each with its unique design, and the remarkable blue cupola roof, Salim Singh ki Haveli is not just a tourist attraction but also a piece of living history, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of a bygone era.

Waste of time and money
Nothing to see here. Only one room is open, and the guide is rude. This should not even count as an attraction.
