Purani Haveli - The Palace

The Palace

The Haveli is "U" in shape, with two oblong wings running parallel to each other and the residential palace located perpendicularly in the middle. The main building resembles 18th-century European palaces. A unique feature of this palace is the world's longest wardrobe, built in two levels with a hand-cranked wooden lift(elevator) in place. This occupies the entire length of one wing of the palace.

    While the hollow oak our palace is,
    Our heritage the sea.

    Runs in blood down Palace walls
