It is famous for its extraordinary architecture and is considered to be the best in Jaisalmer. Apparently, there is an interesting story behind it. The grand structure is the hard work of two brothers, Hathi and Lullu, who were jewelers and not architects. They both started with different facets of the building simultaneously.

The scriptures made on the Haveli were never seen by the architect brothers in real life and were engraved with descriptions from the people who had seen them.
