Haveli Dhayan Singh

These Havelis are part of a cluster of Havelis known as Chuna Mandi Havelis, a significant group of historic buildings in the Walled City. It currently houses the Government Fatima Jinnah College for Women. The building, with its spacious courtyard and Sikh imagery, sometime thought to be the famous palace of Raja Dhian Singh, the young Rajput chamberlain of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, but is more likely to be the palace of Jamadar Khushal Singh (d. 1844). From its sprawling courtyards to its royal baths and from its arched hallways to its zenana gardens, the building is breathtakingly beauty. But perhaps what is far more important is that the haveli is as alive today as it was in its days of glory. Instead of being kept under lock and key it is being utilized as a college and every corner has been put to constructive use.
