This haveli was constructed in 1815 by the powerful Prime Minister, Salim Singh Mahto. Originally built with two top floors, it was eventually brought down due to royal orders since it was higher than the Maharaja's palace; a bold architectural statement, indeed.

Nathmal Ki Haveli is an architectural duet; built by two brothers, Hathi and Lulu, who worked on different parts of the structure independently, and hence the haveli has some dissimilarities in design without losing out on overall harmony.
