Overview
About 250 years old, this mansion belonged to a Nagar Brahmin family in the old city,
in Lakha Patel ni Pol, in the Sakdi Sheri area, and was acquired by the Mangaldas family only in the 21st century, to restore as a residence for guests overflowing from The House of MG main
boutique hotel.
The ancient woodwork has been restored and beautifully picked out in muted greens and creamy whites, both within the rooms with their wood-beamed ceilings and across the fantastically carved façade. The furnishings are simple and bright, allowing the gorgeous bones of the building itself to be the highlight. An integrated rainwater harvesting system flows into underground tanks. There are
only two suite-style rooms — definitely in line with The House of MG boutique property ethos. (The main property, where you will be handed your keys, is a 15-minute rickshaw ride from here.)
The Heritage Terrace Suite spills across the courtyard verandah into a charming sitout and stairs take you to the upstairs terrace. The Courtyard Suite has a delightful layout of connecting rooms
cater-cornered around the central well. Mangaldas ni Haveli II is very close, and worth popping over to for its Pol Kholi café with local snacks in a curated outdoor ambience, if the street stalls prove too hectic for you.

Overview
Mangaldas Ni Haveli Architecture Drawings Pdf
The younger sister amidst the Mangaldas heritage properties in the Old City, Haveli II is a mere 150 years old and wears its youth with colourful exuberance, picking out its favourite quirky features in bold red lines, like a grandchild may adorn the nose inherited happily from the family matriarch with a more modern nosepin. A smaller, originally less ambitious family home in Gangadhiya ni Pol, the building was acquired by the Mangaldas family in 2007 and refurbished with modern flooring and colours, contemporary art that honours the 600-year-old city’s heritage. Smaller properties next door made way for a sweet little café with paved brick flooring, named ‘Pol Kholi’ (‘opensecret’), and serving street-style
snacks and juices in a casual ambience that nods to the city’s architectural moorings. Inside the accommodations, the casual mood continues with consciously modern, even trendy midcentury modern furniture and bean bags, contrasting with the cast-iron grilles, paneled doors and coloured glass panes from an older era. Breakfast choices are more continental here, though you have the option of popping over to The House of MG for more choice. Smaller bedrooms all have a wall of east-facing windows; larger ones have access to outdoor spaces beyond the glass to courtyard or a verandah on the street side. Don’t miss the long jhoolas in the common space to one side — great for enjoying the night air of an evening in this bustling locality.

Nearby Mangaldas ni Haveli I is down the next lane and we highly recommend a look at its stunning wooden architecture and detailed façade.
Jama Masjid Built in 1423 by Ahmed Shah, this mosque is only half a kilometer away. This huge sandstone complex was probably the largest such in its time.
