Hello! Don’t be shocked or amazed! This is ‘Jee Ri Haveli’ speaking. Though I don’t believe in boasting about myself, I want to share all my sweet and sour experiences with you, experienced not only by me but a few historic people too. So please listen! Don’t go! Lend your ears to me.

Marwar’s (Mandore’s) mighty Rathore ruler Rao Jodhaji considered the hills of Chidiyanath Ji safe and secured from all points. As a result, laid the foundation of a city named Jodhpur on 12th of May 1459 in the foothills of the Fort.

Following the tradition of Rathore rulers, Maharaja Shri Vijaysingh Ji, who was crowned in the year 1950, proved to the most capable and efficient ruler. He ruled for about 40 year and during his rule the city witnessed major aesthetic changes. Inspired and influenced by his wife, Maharani Gulabrai’s, spiritual and religious beliefs many beautiful temples were built. Examples of these being Gangashyam Ji, Bal Krishna, Kunj Bihari and a few other memorable artistic buildings like Mahila Bagh, the Clock Tower and Fathesagar saw their origin. In the year 1792 the water body Gulab Sagar was constructed in the memory of Maharani Sahiba.

The administrators working for these rulers also did not stay behind. Following in the same track they too introduced richness into the community by constructing artistic buildings like Pokran’s Haveli, Riyan’s Haveli and Nimaj’s Haveli.

One day when an esteemed farmer from Mathaniya visited Marwar, he too dreamt of his own haveli on the banks of Gulab Sagar. After those fortunate moments, construction began and I originated.

Out of curiosity, visitors sought to know me, seeing my youthful and beautiful appearance. Before the farmer could reply, the fun-loving young visitor answered, and gave me my name as Jee Ri Haveli. The farmer’s task was done. I had been named and people started calling me Jee Ri Haveli.
