Jaiselmer - Haveli of Salam Singh


Salam Singh a Diwan of the Kingdom with high ambitions.
His ambitions aimed at the throne so the ruler aimed his gun at Salam Singh
He made this Majistic Haveli which can be reassembled even today by just removing its carved walls.


It was really very difficult to avoid this magnificent building


Salam singh had set his eyes on a village girl when he told the villagers that he will come to take her with him,
the whole village abandoned the village the same night

It seems it is made of Gold-a solid gold


A stone for worship


The door in haveli is fixed without any nails, nuts and bolts.
It can be removed easily with a little effort.



Broken pieces of sun shade



The Haveli of the Diwan of Ruler of Jaiselmer
glaring the Jaiselmer Fort.


I had a small fight with the descendents of Salam Singh.

Later on, I heard heated arguments with some other tourist,
 this time it was a foreigner.
