Baa Ri Haveli : info and guided tour

Introduction to Baa Ri Haveli

Baa Ri Haveli is located inside Jaisalmer Fort, near the Jain Temple, in the Khejer Para area, within the historic Amar Sagar Pol gateway. Its setting places it at the heart of the city’s fortified heritage, in a dense urban fabric of golden stone lanes and traditional buildings.

Listed as a museum, the site reflects the domestic architecture of the old havelis of Rajasthan. Its presence inside Jaisalmer Fort links it to the urban history of the citadel, where housing, religion, and visitor spaces overlap in a very compact heritage setting.

Around Baa Ri Haveli, visitors find an environment shaped by the proximity of the Jain Temple and other landmarks of the fort. The appeal of the site lies as much in its setting as in its museum function, within a historic district still defined by narrow passages and sandstone facades.

The name Baa Ri Haveli refers to a traditional residence that has become a place to visit. In Jaisalmer, this kind of site offers a close look at the layout of a haveli house, its connection to the fort, and its place in the city’s architectural memory.
