This detailed image captures the exquisite stone lattice work, known as jali, on the façade of a traditional haveli in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, India. Hand-carved from yellow sandstone, this intricate craftsmanship reflects the opulence and artistic sophistication of the city's wealthy merchant class during the 18th and 19th centuries. Found in havelis such as Patwon Ki Haveli and Salim Singh Ki Haveli, these latticed windows served both aesthetic and functional purposesâproviding privacy, airflow, and filtered light. The rich architectural heritage of Jaisalmer, a golden city in the Thar Desert, makes it a treasure trove for heritage and art lovers. |
