Singh-Ki-Haveli,
Jaisalmer
This
haveli was built about 300 years ago and a part of it is still
occupied. Salim Singh was the prime minister when Jaisalmer was the
capital of the princely state and his mansion has a beautifully arched
roof with superb carved brackets in the form of Peacocks. The mansion
is just below the hill and it is said that once it had two additional
wooden storeys in an attempt to make it as high as the maharaja's
palace, but the maharaja had the upper storey torn down.
