7. Salim Singh ki Haveli
Located near the Jaisalmer Railway Station , Salim Singh’s Haveli is one of the most famous in Jaisalmer. It is built on the remains of an older Haveli and offers a unique feature. The haveli is smaller at the lower levels and extends as overhanging balconies at the upper level.
The front façade of the Haveli seems to resemble the stern of a ship and is also referred to as Jahaz Mahal (Ship Palace) sometimes. Image below.
Some interesting trivia: It is said that Salim Singh tried to match the height of the Jaisalmer Fort but this was unacceptable to the ruling king and the additional floors were knocked down. Also, since there aren’t a lot of evidences to support this rumour, it could just be a myth.
