Lonely Planet review for Nathmal-ki-Haveli

This late-19th-century haveli was also a Jaisalmer prime minister’s house and is still partly inhabited. It drips with carving, and the 1st floor has some beautiful paintings that used 1.5kg of gold. A doorway is surrounded by 19th-century British postcards from the prime minister’s time, and there’s also a picture of Queen Victoria. The left and right wings were the work of two brothers, whose competitive spirit apparently produced this virtuoso work – the two sides are similar, but not identical. Sandstone elephants welcome visitors/shoppers.

    Wonderful Yet Disappointing

    raviputcha recommends this,

    This is such a wonderful haveli - I wonder how can this not be one of the national monuments, but it is not and right now Nathmal Haveli is closed for public. I couldn't get past the ground floor shops.
