PATWON JI KI HAVELI
The Patwon Ji ki Haveli is an interesting and important
among the havelis in Jaisalmer.
This is precisely because of two things, first that it was the
First Haveli Erected In Jaisalmer and second, that it is not
a single haveli but a Cluster of 5 small havelis.
The first among these havelis was commissioned and
constructed in the year 1805 by Guman Chand Patwa and is
the biggest and the most ostentatious. It is believed that Patwa
was a rich man and was a renowned trader of his time. He
could afford and thus ordered the construction of separate
stories for each of his 5 sons. These were completed in the
span of 50 years. All five houses were constructed in the first
60 years of the 19th century.
