This fine piece of architecture is entirely made of stone without the use of any cement or lime mortar. It has Elephants carved out of sandstone at the entrance welcoming the tourists. It has a beautifully arched roof with splendidly carved brackets in the form of Peacocks. Its 38 arched balconies have pale blue cupolas and bear intricate carvings with each having a distinct design of its own. Its front facade resembles a ship stern and thus it is sometimes referred to as Jahazmahal. A part of this Haveli is still occupied.
