History of Mandir Palace 

Maharawal Moolrajji laid the foundation stone for Mandir Palace over two centuries ago whenever the shrines of Shri Ram and Shri Girdhariji, as well as the Royal complex around the temples, were erected. He and his predecessors added to this beautiful Palace throughout the years. The most recent and exquisite section of Mandir Palace, known as the ‘Jawahir Vilas,’ was erected in the early twentieth century by Maharawal Jawahir Singhji.

The exquisite stone sculptures of Mandir Palace are well-known. Its architecture is Indo-Saracenic: a combination of Rajput style and certain Islamic elements brought to Jaisalmer by travellers from Afghanistan and Persia. Raj Kumar Dr. Jitendra Singh, the grandson of Maharawal Jawahir Singhji and proprietor of Mandir Palace, recently renovated it into a famous heritage hotel.
