"Essence" . Mohatta Palace,Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. It was built near the coast of Clifton by Shivratan Chandraratan Mohatta, a Hindu Marwari businessman from modern day Rajasthan in India, in 1927, as his summer home. He designed the Palace in the tradition of stone palaces in Rajasthan, using pink Jodhpur stone in combination with the local yellow stone from Gizri. There's a story behind the construction of this palace, from a book ‘Karachi Taareekh Kay Aaeenay Main’ by Usman Damohi. In his book, Mohatta’s wife was one of the main reasons to built this Palace.
