Nachana Haveli

An Oasis in the Heart of the Golden City of Jaisalmer

The present Nachana Family are the descendants of Maharawal Jaisal (founder of jaisalmer)and their lineage dates back to lord krishna .The folklore suggests that there was a curse on the royal family living inside the fort, and no Maharaja who lived inside the fort of Jaisalmer had more than one son. Young age deaths were not uncommon due to epidemics and deseases…So in the early 18th century the royal family decided to build Palaces outside the fort. And so the Palace and Nachana Haveli were built.
