The construction of Patwa Haveli in 1860 CE by Sheth Hutheesing Kesarisinh marked a pivotal moment in Ahmedabad's urban history, embodying the zenith of Jain mercantile power during the British colonial era. Hutheesing Kesarisinh, already a renowned patron responsible for the magnificent Hutheesing Jain Temple (completed 1848), commissioned this haveli as a private residence, reflecting his immense wealth derived from the burgeoning textile trade. Its strategic location within Tambakuwala Pole in Khadia, one of Ahmedabad's historic 'poles', underscores the unique socio-economic fabric of the old city, where affluent communities clustered in self-contained neighbourhoods. This haveli thus became a tangible record of the Patwa community's ascendancy. Architecturally, the Patwa Haveli stands as a remarkable synthesis of regional styles, drawing inspiration from the ancient Solanki and Nagara traditions, alongside Gujarati and Rajasthani haveli forms. This eclectic blend, executed in intricate sandstone and wood, was not merely decorative but a deliberate assertion of indigenous cultural identity amidst colonial influences. The haveli's flourishing period in the late 19th century directly paralleled Ahmedabad's transformation into a major industrial and commercial hub, with the Patwa family's fortunes intertwined with this economic boom. However, the mid-20th century saw significant family divisions and property changes, initiating a period of decline that reflected broader shifts in India's post-independence economic landscape and the erosion of traditional patronage systems.
