Some of the finest carvings in the world

Nathmalji ki Haveli, in my opinion, has the finest carvings in all of Jaisalmer. The carvings were done by two brothers, on either side of the main entrance. Each side looks similar, but a closer look reveals that the patterns are very different! At times, there was a competition between the two brothers on who was the better sculptor. The result - some of the finest carvings in the world!

More scenes from Jaisalmer - a slide show.
