Jaisalmer's five-haveli merchant cluster Patwon Ki Haveli (literally 'mansion of the brocade-traders') is a cluster of five havelis built between 1805-1860 by Guman Chand Patwa, a Jain merchant of Jaisalmer, India, for his five sons. Carved from local yellow sandstone, the cluster is among the finest examples of Rajasthani haveli architecture and the largest such complex in Jaisalmer.
