The present Nachana Family are the descendants of Maharawal Jaisal(founder of jaisalmer)and their lineage dates back to lord krishna .The folklore suggests that there was a curse on the royal family living inside the fort, and no Maharaja who lived inside the fort of Jaisalmer had more than one son. Young age deaths were not uncommon due to epidemics and deseases…So in the early 18th century the royal family decided to build Palaces outside the fort. And so the Palace and Nachana Haveli were built..

Maharaj Kesari Singh ji thought of building a very planned and beautiful Palace. So various Artisans were invited to present the Maharaj with their subsequent ideas. Finally the model which was approved was a three story Palace. This model is itself a masterpiece and is kept in the lobby for display, as its intricately carved on a single sandstone. This Haveli was supposed to be three stories, but the Maharaj died when the work was still going on and his next kin in line Maharaj Sultan Singh ji was a minor and so the Haveli is still incomplete.
