Mohatta Palace
Mohatta Palace is located in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. It was build by Shivratan Chandraratan Mohatta, an ambitious self-made Hindu businessman from Marwar as his summer home in the late 1920's.

He built the Palace in the tradition of stone palaces in Rajasthan, using pink Jodhpur stone in combination with the local yellow stone from Gizri. The amalgam gave the palace a distinctive presence in an elegant neighbourhood, characterised by British colonial architecture which was located not far from the sea.
